Horse Girl (2020)

I left the screening of “Horse Girl” with a deep dissatisfaction, a film that is an odd misstep from director Jeff Baena (“Life After Beth,” “Joshy”). The first half of the film is awkwardly charming, but then it becomes something completely different in the worst possible way. The goodwill earned from the oddball sensibility of the story is derailed when things go in a completely “WTF?!” direction.

Horse Girl is a psychological drama that explores mental health through the character of Sarah, portrayed powerfully by Alison Brie, who also co-wrote the film based on personal experiences. The film presents a surreal and emotionally intense journey filled with confusion, paranoia, and identity crisis, culminating in a cliffhanger ending open to interpretation. With its haunting visuals, strong performances, and bold storytelling, Horse Girl is a compelling watch for viewers who appreciate deep, thought-provoking cinema.
