  Stunning. What remarkable lives lived.

  The earth is a beautiful, powerful, terrifying, wonderful thing.

  The Rider 2017

  ★★★★½ Watched by Ethan McCoy 13 Jul 2021

  Had been on my list for a while, but finally prioritized watching after attending a rodeo for the first time and seeing the combined brute force and beauty of bronc and bull riding in person. Quietly mesmerizing, gorgeous western landscapes, and absolutely crushing. Wonderful film.

  Minding the Gap 2018

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Ethan McCoy 15 Jan 2021

  The best documentary I’ve ever seen. So many moments with a crushing emotional punch to them, but it’s the montages of skating (along with the one of each of them growing up), set to that score, that every time I’ve watched I've found to be so so profoundly moving. I love this movie so much.

  Side note: skateboarding is so fucking cool. I don’t think I could even attempt to step on a board without causing myself grave physical harm.
