“THE RIDER excels with a gentle, low key approach where the drama never boils over, but instead feels in keeping with its stoic characters. It's an astute dissection of masculinity and what it means to be a man of the land. It helps that Zhao uses cinematographer Joshua James Richards, who with this and his previous film, GOD'S OWN COUNTRY, really knows how to make the audience feel the environments. THE RIDER looks just plain gorgeous with its panoramic vistas, but it also shows us the mundanity and plainness of the ranch interiors. There's an especially masterful nighttime campfire scene with Brady and his friends where it becomes so clear why people are drawn to this kind of life. Through it all, we stay tightly focused on Brady. His quiet, soulful performance feels so real and true. “
