Even Cowboys Get to Cry (2013) User Reviews

friends

[Kirpianuscus · 24 February 2024]

I suppose, a film easy to like it. Or , maybe, love. Two friends, very closed, a fight, a terrible night, the ingenuity of one of them, the reserves of the other , the life keeping going.

Nice acting, fair story, few pretty scenes and admirable delicacy of exploration of relation between the two boys.

The beautiful thing - maybe the circle defined by first and last scenes of film.

The moments of silence and doubts.

The steps for remake a relation after a not easy moment of tension.

The basic virtue - the spring fresh air defining the film. Maybe, the moral and the smart portrait of friendship with each nuance defining it.

Nothing memorable to see here

"Cowboys janken ook" or "Even Cowboys Get to Cry" is a Dutch 20-minute movie written by Merinde Verbeek and directed by Mees Peijnenburg. The language here is Dutch (so get subtitles perhaps) and the cast is too and I cannot say I am familiar with any of the names included there. About the story, there is not too much to say. It is about a friendship between two guys, nothing gay-themed here, and it gets put to the test when a serious injury happens to one. or maybe not serious as this film tries a lot in terms of drama and tragedy, but it becomes really unauthentic quickly and even fake. The dialogs are sometimes really embarrassing. I do not recommend watching this one. 4 out of 10 is still fairly generous and I hope everybody working in here can step up their games in the future and actually come up with better quality than here.
