Horse Girl

Another film that treats anxiety and depression in an irresponsible and exaggerated way, mainly for mixing history with alien abduction. Nowadays, these issues need to be addressed with greater support... Hm, the protagonist performance is incredible, as well as the filming techniques, especially after the plot, it makes you feel a little like her.

What is more difficult to explain to someone: your history of mental illness or your recurring alien abductions? That thought experiment is the foundation of the movie. I just with the execution had been better at holding the reins. There's an eerie improvised approach the dialogue, which means the words aren't as impactful and thought out as they should be. Still, the creepy photography and 80's synth music is cool. As is Brie's constant Disney Princess eye acting. Marginal recommendation.

Alison Brie is great in the lead role in this film. The script has a lot of great moments and other ones that go nowhere. Overall I would recommend this film.

Harrowing descent into madness. Handles its ambiguity cleverly and Brie is awesome.

These movies where you're supposed to suspend disbelief and imagine a world where a person like Alison Brie is a nervous ugly person are a bit much.

The Duplass Brothers logo seems to be a legitimately useful marker of quality. The socially awkward hyperreal weirdness that is almost synonymous with Duplass brothers really shines through here with an astounding performance and an intriguing script. This movie is a portrait--nothing more, nothing less. As a kind of ad hoc Madness Trilogy, I recommend Horse Girl followed by Bug followed by The Shining.

worth a watch

Great at it's altering states of reality. A purely subjective ride with clues of certainty, but also capable of making one ponder a much more ambiguous theory.

Strong performance by Brie, and at its best the movie really does well with keeping us with her in that insomniac place where you don't know what's real and what's not. But ultimately, it doesn't really seem to know where to go with that.

This is just great by Alison Brie. She creates enough empathy to allow you to care then feel sorry for her. It is a little let down by the confusing ending, and maybe just going too far over the line. Really felt like there could have been a good message in there somewhere but is completely overshadowed.

Quite interesting depiction of mental illness with a brave dash of personal history. Enjoyable.

É um filme que tenta caminhar dentro de uma ambiguidade, todavia o resultado é bem monótono e muito abaixo de outros filmes que retratam a mesma situação.

Honestly, it can feel a little silly at times. It's not all the time but it does happen. However, I admire what it's trying to say about depression/psychosis, and I think Brie did a really great job here, showcasing her skills in "going crazy" and being sad, while also reminding us how good she is at awkward loners. Some interesting visuals, and though it's not told flawlessly, the story is interesting. It's a little slow to get going but once it does it's worth the wait.

I spent most of the time trying to remember where I recognized John Reynolds from (Chris Gethard show) and waiting to see Alison Brie nude since I heard that happened.

It has it moments, but the sum of the parts is just disjointed. This movie wants to be better than it actually is.

Allison Brie should given everything!

Bipolars got it.

Horse Girl's parity of alien-abduction with mental illness (or vice versa) leaves the film in a confounding end that undermines the point (if any) that the film was possibly trying to make. Despite pacing issues, there are some good performances, though a little unrestrained at times, leaning too heavily into awkward or crazy territory. And thanks to Brie, the film delivers a few impactful moments. Her character swings from sympathetic to embarrassing to alienating, but maybe that's the point.

There is a lot to love about 'Horse Girl' which is why it is so frustrating, that it ends up opting for weird, when it should have gone heartbreakingly dark.

Alison Brie goes insane. Maybe. Starts off rather slow, maybe even too slow, before it kicks the weirdness into overdrive. Clever little movie with a good lead and great sound design.

Depressing.

This is a tricky one to sum up. I kinda liked it and could get behind it's experimental style but it felt unsatisfying in the end. It feels like a film that had more potential than was realized in a way. This is more drama than thriller I feel too so maybe that was part of the dissatisfaction as I went in expecting a thriller (thanks IMDB) Not bad but could have been more

Wonderful performance from Alison Brie. Aside from that and some gut-wrenchingly awkward scenes that make you want to inflict physical pain on yourself to distract you from the amazingly crafted scenes of astral projection, it's finale feels displaced in otherwise slow paced and grounded story. I really liked this movie up until it turned into a huge acid trip. I wish we could get movies dealing schizophrenia with less extravaganza - think A Beautiful Mind.

my personal worst nightmare. i have a rare feeling that i'm going to watch this netflix film again

i really enjoyed this movie in that it reached into my brain and flipped some switches and bumped into things. it's interesting and launches into places i didnt think it was gunna go, keeping the audience on their toes.

I watched this for Alison Brie

With a great score and a pretty interesting performance from Brie, there is certainly some good stuff here. The plot is brief and things happen very quickly. The lack of nuance is jarring.
