Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It would be unfair and patronizing to say that Solondz needs to grow up, but "Dark Horse" suggests that it's time for the bard of bourgeois hypocrisy to consider moving on.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,

rotten:
Solondz has made a career out of specializing in highly aberrant views of middle-class life.
– Mark Feeney,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
That Gelber can make Abe appealing in any way is a triumph. That Solondz can orchestrate such a feat is an even bigger one.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
Solondz will never be much for happy endings, but the film is strangely optimistic and at times borders ever-so-slightly on the whimsical.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,

rotten:
With champion bloodlines from Walken and Farrow, "Dark Horse" could have been a contender, but it gets so skittish about trodding a familiar path that it pulls up lame.
