Synopsis

As her mother Sandy (Gretchen Mol) grapples with an uncertain diagnosis, autistic 22-year-old Margarita (a revelatory Lillian Carrier) must reluctantly grow up.
Moviegoers are saying
"Horsegirls" emerges as an unexpected emotional powerhouse that blindsided audiences with its authentic portrayal of hobby horsing subculture and masterful use of Don McLean's "American Pie." While some find the finale too schmaltzy, Lillian Carrier's standout performance and the film's genuine approach to autism representation create moments that hit viewers "like a freight train" - with multiple reviewers admitting to unexpected tears.

    Wait so even hobby horsers have cliques and social hierarchies on their teams? Never would have guessed that.  This caught me completely off guard. I had never heard of it before today, and by god was this something special. Lillian Carrier is amazing in this. And while…

    Get the tissues ready team this one is meant to make you feel something.  It’s impressive to me in so many ways when a film can completely and utterly put you in a world where every single character feels like a person that is rich with history and meaning.  What’s so…

    "This is a simple story executed with singular panache, and while “Horsegirls” follows expected narrative beats, it’s in the moments of surprise that it works best, often thanks to Carrier and her straightforward line deliveries, which help the tone pop. The film is a…
