A tremendously compelling writing/directing debut, featuring one of the best performances of 2021.

The look of the movie is impressive because of how unshowy it is, though a lot of thought has obviously been put into every frame.

It is both an appealing crowd-pleaser and a timely look at how hatred can tear a country apart.

Ridley Scott may be known more for action and sci-fi, but he proves that he can make an epic of ideas, rather than merely one of spectacle.

It is quite compelling in the moment, yet Lamb didn’t say as much as it tried to. Still, I was consistently engaged.

It is ridiculous, though that didn’t bother me, maybe because I wanted to see where Ducournau was going to take things next.

It defies easy synopsis. It is about art and performance, reality and artificiality. It is one of the best movies of the year.

It keeps the viewer at arm’s length, making this an occasionally interesting exercise, rather than a compelling exploration of this material

Concrete Cowboy mixes a very good movie with an okay one, creating a good movie with moments of greatness and a few boring stretches.

It gives us the stories, sometimes sad, of people who always dreamed of being on the road, seeing the country. The impact is pretty amazing.
