Cowboy

About This Movie

Cowboy (2020) is this intriguing mix of animation and documentary that tells a pretty raw story. It dives into the life of a guy shaped by a tough upbringing, especially with an abusive dad hanging over him. The animation style is kind of quirky but it fits the mood really well—there's a distinct visual flair that complements the heavy themes of familial obligation and self-reflection. The pacing feels deliberate, letting you sit with the protagonist's struggles. You get this palpable tension between his past and his desire to be a better father. It's not your typical animated fare and that’s what makes it stand out, really. There’s something deeply human about it all, if you know what I mean.
