This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be completely honest this movie could be amazing if it would have stuck to a few of the subplots within it. Horse Girl is one movie that I don't know who its intended for. I came into this movie with the hope that it would keep me interested but it's story and cringe inducing moments make me want to look away. The acting however done by Allison Brie, Debby Ryan,and John Reynolds is fantastic. Brie makes you believe her character's utter confusion with the many weird happenings to herself. Debby Ryan's portrayal of a roommate helping the other is well done. John Reynolds did a fantastic job as Darren and to be honest I wish we saw more of him than we did. The movie isn't bad, but it's just so confusing it makes watching the movie a chore which isn't something you want. The movie has moments that make me want to live in them, the Baker's Dozen scene is extremely entertaining with the banter that goes back and forth with the characters. The scene with Brie's friend Heather was great and I wish that would have been further shown. If I were to categorize this movie it wouldn't be thriller, it's more in the vein of a drama that airs on the side of Psychological and disturbing. The movie is definitely on the low tier of movies I have seen and I wouldn't recommend it, but who knows maybe I'm missing the genius behind the film and it's fantastic for others. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't honestly know how to feel about this movie. The gradual descent into, presumed, schizophrenia that eventually dives heavily into it, is wild. The entire movie is acted fairly well, and there are some very tense and even sad moments. Allison Brie does a good job of really diving into a realistic feeling view of this awful mental disease. I've seen it first hand and I think it did a solid job even if not completely accurate to my experiences. My largest issue with the movie is the ending. It's ambiguous, intentionally, but I don't think that it serves to better the film. It's unique and worth a watch, but I don't think it'll ever be more than a cult movie at best. Expand

This was a very unfortunate film that doesn't live up to its theme nor the performance of Alison Brie.

The approach instead of deepening into the mental illness the main character obviously suffers, seems more interested in exploiting the episodes of imbalance the character experiences and the story goes like this over and over again until the ending, giving the impression that the screenwriters didn't know what to do with the rest of the theme.

This was a let down.
