"A funny, bittersweet film with a lot of personality. Todd Solondz’s direction gives it a very distinctive tone, and the quality of this release is excellent. The colorful slipcover also looks great in person. Everything arrived in perfect condition."
"This is such a funny cover that fits well with other Solondz releases. Very soft and bright just like the rest of the film. Contrasts with the films main character and his tragically funny arc. It should have been all sunshine and rainbows right? Great to see the inclusion of a booklet. Most releases seem to skip this now days."
"Todd Solondz’s Dark Horse follows Abe, a stunted, delusional man‑child drifting through life with equal parts bravado and insecurity. Jordan Gelber’s performance is the film’s core: abrasive, needy, and strangely heartbreaking. Solondz frames Abe not as a grotesque (as he often does with his characters) but as a painfully recognizable figure—someone desperate to be exceptional in a world that barely notices him. The film blends Solondz’s trademark discomfort with a surprisingly gentle tone. Its humor is dry and awkward, its emotional beats skewed through fantasy sequences and unreliable perspective. Selma Blair’s subdued performance adds a melancholic counterpoint, grounding the film’s more surreal turns. Visually, Dark Horse is clean and suburban, using bland interiors and muted colors to underline Abe’s arrested development. The narrative drifts between reality and delusion, culminating in a finale that’s both bleak and oddly tender. It’s one of Solondz’s more accessible works—still prickly, still unsettling, but infused with a quiet compassion that makes Abe’s failures feel genuinely tragic."
"Solondz is obviously not going to be everyone’s cup of acerbic tea, but boy howdy if his stuff works for you, it’s really gonna work for you. This film is an essential part of his canon and I was ecstatic to see it get this new release."
"I collect all of Todd Solondz films so when I saw Dark Horse was being released I had to jump on it. The packaging is phenomenal as usual, the features are excellent, the transfer is great. All around this is a fantastic title and release."
"Love Todd Solondz’s films and had a previous Blu-ray release of this, but it was a bit no-frills, so I was happy to upgrade for nicer packaging and the general aesthetic."
"A bitter and hard film to stomach and that's why I love it. If you liked Happiness or Palindromes then you'll like this as well. Great release."
"While not quite as dark as some of Solondz's other movies, this one still has some pretty uncomfortable moments. The release is really high quality and looks great."
"One of Solondz's most underrated movies. Make another movie, Todd! The world needs you now more than ever. Love the new slipcover."
"Very excited for this since it is a Todd Solondz film. The slipcover is a little meh, but overall a great release packed with features"
