Breaking Down the Confusing Ending of Netflix's 'Horse Girl' — from the Grandma Theory to Time Travel

An in-depth perspective on Breaking Down the Confusing Ending of Netflix's 'Horse Girl' — from the Grandma Theory to Time Travel, bringing you valuable insights.

The chaotic ending of Horse Girl was definitely intentional, according to Alison Brie. When doing a Q&A about the movie for Netflix, she said one of the reasons why there are multiple scenarios for the conclusion is because it's unclear whether viewers can trust Sarah or not.

"I think it all stems from the fact that this movie is told through the point of view of Sarah," Alison said. "We've always talked about how it's a story told from an unreliable narrator’s perspective and we wanted the audience to feel the way the character feels. So by the end of the movie, you're going into her head. You're going into her dreams. Maybe people can't tell what's real or what's not real, or if she's going to be okay or not."

"It was always the intention that the ending of the film be ambiguous and the people can have different reads on what the ending means," she continued. "And I think we just really stayed true to that along the way."
