So, 'Abandoning a Horse' is this intriguing blend of fantasy and Western set in a pretty haunting ghost town. The atmosphere is thick with an eerie nostalgia, and you can feel the weight of the past throughout the film. The pacing is a bit slow, but it kind of works, allowing you to soak in the landscape and the relationship between the mother and daughter. The abandoned horse? It's not just a plot device; it feels like a character in its own right, tied to the legend of José, which adds a nice layer of mystique. The practical effects they use are subtle but effective, giving everything a grounded feel. Performances are earnest, especially the mother—there’s this raw emotionality in her search for closure. It's a distinctive take on the ghost story.
