Released: April 13 Cast: Brady Jandreau, Tim Jandreau, Lilly Jandreau, Cat Clifford Director: Chloé Zhao (Songs That My Brothers Taught Me) Why it's great: The gritty authenticity of The Rider, which casts real - life horse wrangler Brady Jandreau as an injured rodeo star trying to find his second act, is perfectly balanced by
a yearning poetic quality that never feels cloying or manipulative.
