COWBOYS – Review by MaryAnn Johanson

February 15, 2021February 19, 2021 MaryAnn Johanson Anna Kerrigan, COWBOYS, sasha knight, Steve Zahn

Anna Kerrigan completely upends the Western with a thoroughly modern take on the notion of lighting out into the wilderness in order to find the freedom to find yourself. Everything about the foundations of the genre is challenged in Cowboys, from what constitutes true freedom to how it is not, in fact, found in solitude.

The consequences of denying your loved ones the right to live authentically plays out in dramatic fashion in Cowboys, writer/director Anna Kerrigan’s moving film about a family in crisis. Starring the talented Steve Zahn and Jillian Bell as Troy and Sally, the divorced parents of 10-year-old transgender boy Jo (Sasha Knight), the film ultimately shows the power of unconditional love and acceptance.

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
