Netflix has released the first unsettling trailer for HORSE GIRL, a darkly humorous psychological thriller from director Jeff Baena (THE LITTLE HOURS) which stars Alison Brie as Sarah, a socially isolated arts and crafts store employee who finds herself more content in the company of horses and supernatural crime shows than people. When a series of strangely surreal dreams upend the simplicity of her waking life, Sarah struggles to distinguish her visions from reality.
HORSE GIRL is something rather different for Alison Brie, who we largely know from comedies such as Community, Bojack Horseman, GLOW, and more, but Brie looks to be giving one hell of a performance in HORSE GIRL as her sanity slips away. What's reality? What's a dream? Are aliens involved? I'll definitely be adding this one to my Netflix queue. "People always said that my grandma was so crazy," Sarah says in the trailer. "Now I think that she wasn’t crazy at all, because I’m feeling it. I know that it sounds crazy, I know that it sounds really crazy, but it just feels really real."
HORSE GIRL will debut at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27th, before releasing on Netflix on February 7, 2020.
