Horse Girl (I) (2020)
8/10
Schizophrenia simulator
18 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This film is the best simulation of schizophrenia I've seen. It covers more than just visions as it goes deeply into the complex delusions and the effects on the patient's life. It gets really dark, twisted and complex. What is it like to live when you never know what's real, everyone's out to get you and your experiences suggest something otherworldly is going on? This film was a powerful view into that kind of life. Very insightful and underrated. At the same time, there's an alternative interpretation that her fantasies are actually real in the film. It's impossible to say but there are some rather gratuitously ambiguous sequences that add some intrigue. Either way, the fictional TV show "Purgatory" (a nice homage to 90s paranormal dramas like Buffy the Vampire Slayer) was super cheesy and entertaining to watch.
