Cowboys (2021)
Director Anna Kerrigan’s inspiring generosity of spirit is evident throughout her second feature film.
You know the old saying about where a road “paved with good intentions” can lead.
And it’s true. I’ve watched passionate, purposeful, principled artists pour their lives and life savings into projects that, while meaningful for the artists, amounted to unwatchable results.
But it’s not a binary proposition, of course: Good intentions can lead to the achievements of masterworks, too — and everything in between, including destinations like ‘Mediocrity’ and ‘Fairly Decent.’
Director Anna Kerrigan’s inspiring generosity of spirit is evident throughout her second feature film: Cowboys. And — good news for moviegoers — the result is a large-hearted movie, admirable for its ambitions and its embrace of its environmental contexts as more than just backdrops.
