There Must Be a Pony

About This Movie

There Must Be a Pony captures the often convoluted journey of a former star trying to navigate life post-rehabilitation. The film’s tone is a mixture of somber reflection and occasional bursts of hope, as Marguerite Sydney, played with a delicate intensity, grapples with her mental health and fractured family ties. The pacing can feel uneven, especially in the quieter scenes, but it lends a sort of authenticity to her struggles. The atmosphere is steeped in an almost nostalgic 80s vibe, with practical effects and sets that evoke the era. There’s this underlying tension in her relationship with her son and the stranger – it’s all quite layered, making it a curious watch for those interested in character-driven narratives.
