Horse Girl (2020, D: Baena) S: Alison Brie -- Netflix





Sarah (Alison Brie) has a quiet and fairly simple life, contenting herself with the crafts-store job she holds, the nightly supernatural crime TV show she adores, and the equestrian center she visits constantly. When a gift impulsively stirs her curiosity about her family history, unexpected and strange dreams begin to disturb her. As these visions seep into her waking moments, Sarah struggles to hold on to her fragile reality. Director Jeff Baena returns to the Sundance Film Festival with his fourth feature, diving into an incredibly personal and unusual new realm while retaining his trademark aptitude for character exploration and unsettling humor. … Born out of a close collaboration between Baena and Brie, who co-wrote and produced the film, ‘Horse Girl’ looks at the tenuous grasp we have on waking life through a bold and disquieting character study.

The film also stars Debby Ryan, John Reynolds, Molly Shannon, John Ortiz, and Paul Reiser. The film is the fourth of Baena’s to premiere at the festival, following “Life After Beth,” “Joshy,” and “The Little Hours.” The film was executive produced by fellow Sundance regulars Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass.

The film will be available to stream on Netflix February 7, 2020.

I follow Brie on social media and she's talked about this but I didn't know anything about it. Looks pretty interesting - I love that these types of projects are popping up on Netflix and other streaming services now. Way better than having to wait for a home release after a theatrical run that I'm probably not going to see.

I liked Life After Beth and The Little Hours, so will definitely check this out when it drops.

These types of films never interest me, but I'm a big fan of Brie so I will definitely give this a look.

I will see this and added it to my que since Netflix does not send me the Joker, Ad Astra, and Jay & Silent Bob the movies on the top of my que.

Because of Community, I'll always watch Alison Brie in anything. Likewise with Arrested Development and Jason Bateman. 30 Rock and Tina Fey. Etc.

It started out promising and then went off the rails
Spoiler:
Maybe you thought she was mental at first

Yes she is not a shaver either unless that was designed on purpose for the role?
