About This Movie
The Roper (2013) paints a vivid portrait of Kendrick, a young calf roper from Lafayette, with quite the dream of hitting the rodeo national championship. It’s a documentary, sure, but it feels more like an intimate glimpse into the grit and determination of a kid chasing a life defined by lariats and rodeo lights. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to soak in the atmosphere of rodeo culture, the sweat, the dust, and the thrill of competition. There’s something raw about the way it captures Kendrick’s passion—real people, real stories. The performances, though they’re not scripted, resonate with authenticity. It’s distinctive in how it balances personal aspiration with the harsh realities of that world. Worth checking out for anyone into docs about the human spirit.
