Real people playing versions of themselves in a real story is what makes this art film stand out. A young and gifted rodeo star suffers a concussion and must face the reality of the situation with his hard drinking father and mentally challenged sister (who also play themselves in the film). As haunting as a lone cowboy's ghost on a long ride down a trail that leads nowhere. The amateurish acting is distracting and endearing. The landscapes are mundane and immense. The emotions are personal and universal. I left the cinema steeped in memories of moments I'd never lived, like carrying a tattered postcard from another life in the back pocket of my oldest pair of jeans.

A slow burn tale of broken dreams and hunting for purpose, The Rider utilises real people combined with strong cinematography to make a truly unique, authentic drama.

>"I believe God gives each of us a purpose. To the horse, it's to run across the prairie. For a cowboy, it's to ride." This is a slow burn, but a good one. I highly recommend anyone watching this to look into how this film was made. A lot of it is based on the main actor’s real life (even the injury is real). Breaks my heart to see people lose the ability to do the one thing that makes them happy, and to be pressured by everyone to get back into it must make it even harder.

Broken dreams and broken hearts; a movie we can all relate to, even if we don't partake in Rodeo events for a living. A moving film, more so because the performers play themselves, or versions of their own personas.

Director Chloe Zhao making the film over a short time period on a tight budget uses amateurs and non-actors throughout the film with Brady Jandreau and his family playing celluloid versions of themselves right down to the brain injury the real Brady suffered being part of this film’s narrative.

Where to start with The Rider……it’s good. It’s very good, but it is overly sentimental in parts. There are certain elements that just seem to be trying a little too hard to tweak emotions. But that’s the only bad thing I can say about it.

This is almost an experimental hyper real concep More

Honest, raw, and respectful

Partly an elegy for a dissipating way of life, partly an examination of the self-destructive components of contemporary masculinity, and partly a deconstruction of the iconography of the American frontier, The Rider is the second film from Chinese-American writer/directo More

> _I never really had a choice to be a cowboy. It was just in my blood. It was the way my family lived; grew up on horses my whole life. I would ride a horse all by myself when I was about a year-and-a-half. I don't really know anything else. I wouldn't have it a More
