Opposing the Reviews for “Horse Girl”

Jeff Baena and Alison Brie’s off-kilter film Horse Girl lures audiences through its wilderness with its use of misleading setups and fluid visual style. Its momentous open ending, however, seems to have left a lot of critics confused and disgruntled on a variety of choices made by the director and screenwriters. The genre, message, and enjoy-ability of the film have all been called into question. While mixed reviews are not unique to Horse Girl, very few other pieces of cinema offer the opportunity to re-evaluate the way we read film. I believe the distaste and disorientation apparent in a lot of its reviews stem from an inability to refocus the lens through which we capture storytelling.

The film follows a young woman by the name of Sarah (Allison Brie, above), whose journey down the sinister rabbit hole of losing touch with reality leaves spectators wondering where her visions stop and a tangible plot begins.
