Review of Dark Horse (2012) by Marcus W — 14 Nov 2012

Its the most straightforward comedy that Solondz has made (at least for the first 3/4 of the film), and the early stuff is great. Jordan Gelber's performance as a near 40 man child is perfect, he's emotionally undeveloped while pretending to be a worldly man .

. . I've met these people and they are this insufferable. The film's problems are in the finale that's filled with far too much literal explanation and has more false endings than 'The Return of the King'.

I'm still willing to accept it in the Solondz filmography because its full of his trademark melancholic whimsy.
