Plot: Sent to live with his estranged father for the summer, a rebellious teen
finds kinship in a tight-knit Philadelphia community of Black cowboys.
My Movie Review: The movie is a ease vibe- cowboy in the city to be exact builds rapport in showing the culture of two storylines a young man in summer break and who old timer cowboy! Concrete Cowboy was a great eye opener into the life of being a black child trying to grow up in an unsafe society and trying to survive mentally, physically and also without the guidance of father figure while trying to still take care of himself and do what's best for himself even though every single door he tries to go through is blocked to him plus it really hits the mark where you really feel for the actors some particular scenes can hit you harder everyone is just looking out! Idris Elba is charismatic leads us through the long-buried heritage of America's Black cowboys manifested in their modern-day urban descendants it's worth watching because the setting is interesting and the performances so strong' largely because watching Elba is such a pleasure:)
Critics Consensus: Well-acted and solidly directed, Concrete Cowboy lassos old-fashioned uplift with its story of a father and son in a little-seen corner of American culture. Builds an entire world in the span of one corner of North Philadelphia, bringing to vivid life this culture of urban cowboys and those struggling to preserve it. The film captures a fascinating urban subculture threatened with extinction -- and Elba's fans will follow the Golden-Globe-winning Luther star anywhere, including horseback. Some incredible cinematography, but it's incredibly sleepy all the way through. It's worth watching because the setting is so interesting and the performances so strong, but it's a little uneven. Your classic story about an irritable young man redeemed by animal, the embrace of a community. Satisfying even largely because watching Elba is such a pleasure. Concrete Cowboy is gorgeously photographed, by many of the riding scenes taking place in the magic sunset hour or under the lights of the city, and out in the rain:)
