Concrete Cowboy

"Doesn't break new ground, but milks the fascinating backdrop for all its formulaic potential and winds up compelling enough."

"A loving tribute to the very real Black horse culture that exists in North Philadelphia."

"There's something that's just enjoyable about watching such a strong ensemble bounce off each other, but Straub's script doesn't give them enough to work with..."

"An old-fashioned father-son story and none the worse for that, but there is something a little slick and subdued about the way the story is resolved."

"It's hard not to love Concrete Cowboy just a little bit."

"Concrete Cowboy is stirring when it really dives into specificity."

"Works best as a vehicle into the little-known and -seen world of the riders, and it is most enjoyable when it is in that world."

"Would probably work better as a documentary."

"It's a little corny at times, but it looks good and has heart-and, let's be honest, Black cowboys are pretty damn cool."
