"A Menina E O Cavalo" is more than just a simple tale of a girl and her horse; it is a rich and complex exploration of themes that resonate deeply with audiences. The film touches on issues of identity, family, tradition, and the struggle for independence, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Brazilian countryside.
The film’s reception is almost universally negative, largely because it fails to succeed on any conventional level. On Filmow, a Brazilian film review platform, users have consistently condemned its production values, acting, and subject matter. One user wrote, "The script plagiarizes several elements from Jean Garrett's excellent Mulher, Mulher (1979). The entire cast is incredibly bad! The sex scenes are simulated and, of course, poorly done. Likewise, the attempts at humor (like the talking horses) are terrible. When someone laughs, it's at the production's badness". On Letterboxd, users have echoed this assessment, with one famously quipping, "I don't speak Portuguese but I am pretty sure 'A Menina e o Cavalo' stands for 'The Tedious Escapades of a Perverted Horse Girl'". Another summarised the bizarre experience: "Despite all the present weirdness, the conversations of horny uncle horses were probably the worst (was it?). I think the sex inside the 'pool' of milk was the most interesting thing about this rottenness. I just hope they didn't waste real milk for the scene...".
