Review of The Rider (2018) by Alex C — 12 May 2018
This is not a feel-good film, and that's why it works so well. Aspirations, heartbreak, desperation, realization and acceptance are all part of the mix in this spare, but extremely well-crafted film.
It's raw, real, poignant and very satisfying. At times it drags, and it's a film that doesn't focus at all on the cruelties of bronco busting and bull riding on the animals, but it does paint a very effective portrait of a life few of us know.
