Concrete Cowboy (Netflix film about Philly’s Black cowboys, Idris Elba, Caleb McLaughlin)

[Drew Wonder]

Saw this yesterday and really enjoyed it. I live in Philly so I recognized a lot of the locations where this was filmed and I like that the director used a lot of non actors from Philly, made it feel way more authentic. The director’s production company also hires people who were previously incarcerated to give them a second chance.

I remember a few years ago on July 4th when I was walking to Ben Franklin Parkway and I caught a bunch of people riding horses in the middle of the street lol. But there’s an entire culture and history there that the movie does a good job capturing

Spoiler

I thought the best scenes were when the kid was handing out with the Black cowboys. They felt almost like a documentary. Weakest scenes were when he was hanging with his childhood friend who was into the street life, they felt cliched.

Nobody watched this.
I just finished it earlier this morning.
It was really good.
I felt it.
The young Stranger Things bruh did his thing. He was really showing his chops. He's got a bright future. Very talented.

A cool and different story.
I thought it was dope that they had the real life riders in the movie in major roles.
