Concrete Cowboy

errika_mason shared a tip "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.)"

madison_mcdonald_8956 shared a tip "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."

despondent_hull shared a tip "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."

kim_dennie shared a tip "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!"

roselind_read shared a tip "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."

diana_suber shared a tip "Would be better as a documentary. Too long and plot is predictable, but worth watching to learn a bit more about these real urban cowboys."

bev_barlow shared a tip "Thought it was a bit slow to get going but love Idris Elba so stuck with it. So glad I did ! Didn’t realize it was based on true stories of stables in Philadelphia. Loved it!"

elizabeth_george_6972 shared a tip "This was a great movie based on real life people though some liberies were taken to make this “movie worthy”. A good watch and interesting yo learn sbout yhe north Philly cowboy community."

em_bongen shared a tip "This movie tried to show how these cowboys are the victims - the true victims were the horses. This movie glorifies animal abuse and the way they breezed over the health and wellness requirements of keeping horses is irresponsible. In the end they never had the horses’ best interests in mind, just their bruised egos. The more I think about this movie, the angrier I get."

aylene_palacios shared a tip "I really liked this film! It’s a story I’ve never really seen done before. We see a boy that’s utterly alone find family in the most unexpected way."

katrina_werlinger_9875 shared a tip "I loved how real 'Concrete Cowboy' is. This movie was a little bit if an eye opener and a little frustrating. I was not expecting the way it end. This is going on my favorites list.#netflix #drama"
