Critics Consensus

Horse Girl proves unwilling or unable to explore the deeper themes it addresses, but this unusual drama is anchored by Alison Brie's committed performance.

Brie's performance is powerful and the film's editing does a superb job of mixing Sarah's obscured perception with reality, succeeding in offering an unsettling look into the mind of someone who suffers from a severe mental illness.

3/5

Brie is rawly convincing as a troubled woman for whom the sides of reality have become too slippery, transformed into the heroine of a private sci-fi melodrama.

Brie's performance is open and honest and disturbing and funny and lovely and resonant.

Festooned with beads and fabrics, Horse Girl is visually inventive and ultimately succeeds on the grounds of Alison Brie's unwavering and longtail commitment to playing more than just the pretty girl.

It's sad and detailed. It makes you wonder about what's real or not

not a must watch, but a good watch, slow second half, skippable moments, loose plot towards the end, good ending tho.

I watched this movie when it first came out and it stuck with me. I think about it a few times a year. The concepts in it. The premise. The acting was really great. I’m rewatching it and I realized I need to leave a review. I can’t seem to forget this movie. It’s really well done. It’s weird—-in a horse girl weird way.

Mixes the concepts of reality in the slow spiral to madness while still leaving you question if you should be on her side

Weird movie, there was no great plot or a moment where they explain the movie to us. I did not enjoy
