Cowboys (15)

Cinema On Demand

This debut feature shows a rare understanding of the complexities and challenges of modern family life, when a father and his transgender son escape to the mountains of Montana.

Troy (Steve Zahn) is on a camping trip with his transgender son Joe (Sasha Knight), an 11-year-old with a passion for cowboy yarns and the great outdoors. As they travel through the majestic beauty of the northern Rockies, television news reports emerge claiming that Joe is missing.

As detective Faith (Ann Dowd) investigates, we see a bigger picture involving Joe’s conservative mother Sally (Jillian Bell) and her inability to let go of the little girl she loves. Anna Kerrigan creates a revisionist western that blends moving drama with classic frontier imagery in the great American wilderness.
