US drama in which a rodeo cowboy is left unable to compete after a riding accident.
A thoughtful and thought-provoking look at identity, aspiration and a precarious way of life, this is anchored by a stunning performance by Brady Jundreau and inspired direction by Chloé Zhao.
Casting non-actors, Chloé Zhao creates a lyrical and authentic film about life as a rodeo cowboy.
Chloé Zhao's mesmerising second feature blurs the line between reality and fiction.
It’s an elegiac affair but one that portrays its troubled main character with extraordinary tenderness and insight.
Chloé Zhao’s The Rider is an example of regional American cinema at its finest.
A remarkable film in many respects, and Zhao works wonders with a non-professional cast.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
