Upon its limited release in November 1983, A Menina e o Cavalo was eviscerated by critics. Folha de S.Paulo called it “a sluggish exercise in poverty porn.” O Estado wrote, “The child cannot act, and the horse looks tired.”
The young lead (actress unknown, possibly a local non-professional) gives a raw, unpolished performance. Her silence feels less like an acting choice and more like a real child overwhelmed by circumstance. The horse, too, is remarkably well-trained, responding to her cues with a believable gentleness.

: Marcia's young stepmother seduces Beto while they are at the farm. Past Connections : Marcia reunites with a stable boy named Juka and , a horse from her childhood. Transgressive Themes
