    Solondz's most waywardly endearing film - his gentlest triumph.

    Reality and fantasy become increasingly blurred. And if you want to enjoy Dark Horse, you're just going to have to go with it.

    Seizing the role, and the screen, Gelber actually makes us care what happens to his surly, thoroughly unlikable character.

    Yesterday, Solondz blocking the screen meant something, even if it was just his own petulance. Today, a blurred sign only signifies his capitulation to peer pressure.

  1. Certainly more light-hearted than one of my faves Happiness, Dark Horse is an excellent film. The lead actor is terrific, Selma Blair is great (as usual), but Donna Murphy absolutely steals the show. Expand
  2. A KVIFF screening, my second Todd Solondz
