Concrete Cowboy

"Idris Elba..."

"What a great film! This is a story of how bonding with animals can help heal wounds, as well as that of an estranged father and son. (Warning: ⚠️ Cursing is a big part of this movie.)"

"very different from any movie I've seen. I appreciate movies that show me the perspectives of people I might not be able to relate to. wonderful movie."

"Yes, black people do ride horses. #drama "

"I loved it. So unique in the way it’s documented. Idris Elba is amazing! I grew up in Philly & never knew. "

"I was surprised that this was a dramatization about real inner city Cowboys. "

"This is a good story of an urban oddity, squeezed out of it's place by gentrification, all based on real events. The plot is familiar and straightforward, with no cinematic flourishes, though some Hollywood tropes do crop up. It seamlessly incorporates non-actors who lived the events portrayed or are descended from those who did, by not tasking them with demanding roled. Everyone should give this a chance; but, if you're Black in America, you need to know this part of our history. "

"Great movie and it’s neat to see they used the real cowboys out of Philadelphia to make it."

"What I loved most about this movie is that it’s a story I’ve never seen or heard. It’s really unique! And, I didn’t realize it, but it’s based on true events! "

"Very interesting to learn about a community of black cowboys and cowgirls in the city of Philadelphia. We have horses in Baltimore, but they're owned by the Arabbers."
