Review of The Rider (2018) by Olivierpiel — 05 Jul 2018
Slant critic is spot on once again. And is generous with her score. It's a dry and very uninspired exercise in social realism that never elevates itself to create any sense of beauty. Very bad cinematography. Horrible use of close-up. Good nice heartfelt feelings never make for good art. This is another example. Another Oscar bait (life-broken, tortured lead character, minorities, etc...) fooling so-called cultured critics and snobs.
If you like horses zebras or asses, better watch Bressons"au revoir Balthazard". That is cinema.
