It's like a Terrence Mallick movie with an actual narrative.īrady Jandreau plays Brady, a Rodeo cowboy and horse trainer, who at the outset of the film, pulls staples out of his head to expose a massive gash from a horse-riding accident. Some scenes feel like she's just observing these folks doing what they do best, while others have real dramatic heft. Chloé Zhao doesn't even seem to be near a box with this drama/documentary hybrid. Still, I applauded his willingness to think outside the box. It's a stunningly beautiful achievement.Įarlier this year, Clint Eastwood took a stab at experimentalism by casting the real-life terrorist-thwarting heroes to play themselves in THE 15:17 TO PARIS, and the results seemed mixed at best. With writer/director Chloé Zhao's remarkable THE RIDER, she's created an almost new language for autobiographical storytelling. I'm talking to you TEARS AND LAUGHTER: THE JOAN AND MELISSA RIVERS STORY, or LIFE IS NOT A FAIRYTALE: THE FANTASIA BARRINO STORY. Too often in films where the leads play themselves, they can come across as bad Lifetime movies. BUCKING THE TREND - My Review of THE RIDER (4 1/2 Stars)
