While hobby horsing -- the wholly unexpected sport at the center of Meyering’s film and Margarita’s great awakening -- might itself not be old or classic, the film functions a bit like any other great sports film. Go to Full Review Matthew Simpson ForReel Movie News And Reviews Jul 21

Horsegirls' basic plot and structure may not be unique, but the characters that tell it are. It is perhaps too cliché to be great, but the characters will stick with you, and their depictions will hopefully bring some new perspective. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Jun 11
