Netflix (Katrina Marcinowski)We all know a “horse girl” - she’s an almost archetypal figure, a soft-spoken vegetarian who is absolutely obsessed with horses, for some reason, proudly displaying a Live Laugh Love sign in her living room. In Netflix’s Horse Girl, Alison Brie shows off her range, with a stunning performance of a socially awkward introvert slowly descending into insanity. The most uncomfortable aspect of Horse Girl is how grounded and real everything feels, even when the protagonist begins to slide into delusion. As the logic of Brie’s world begins to collapse, her theories of alien abduction and time travel appear not just plausible, but probable. Much like Amazon’s Undone, Horse Girl leaves the nature of Brie’s plight somewhat ambiguous.
