Cowboys Ratings & Reviews

Jackie K. Cooper
Good performances by Zahn and Bell but the movie never fully completes the story it starts.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The tender and personal film conveys enough warmth for the sympathetic viewer to feel-good about the gentle story.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Cowboys is a tender father-and-son tale alive with love, joy, and a wondrous sprinkling of Zahn-niess.
That Shelf
Courtney Small
Cowboys is a touching tale of the bumpy road to acceptance that some must travel.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
Something about seeing a child suffer through the confusion and horrors of growing up in a less than supportive environment is extremely relatable.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This lovely, big-hearted drama uses familiar cowboy-story elements to explore understanding, acceptance, and gender identity. While it doesn't take many risks, it's as comfortable as an old pair of boots.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Writer-director Anna Kerrigan's western-tinged "Cowboys" feels like the right movie at the right time.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Writer/director Anna Kerrigan's film is short but sweet, a bit shallow but empathetic, and a bit narratively jumbled but wholly committed to the central relationship.

Susan Wloszczyna
There are no real heroes or villains, just humans dealing with what life has dealt them.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Cowboys reminded me of that old saying about how the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. This movie is nothing but good intentions, yet it's an aggravating experience anyway.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
This sleeper, a narratively economic movie, tells its tale briskly and effectively, leaving us entertained, moved and educated in a little under 90 minutes. Oh, that more films were this concise and to the point!
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
The conflicts at the heart of "Cowboys" are timely, coming in a moment when trans children and their rights are at the forefront of American political debate. But the writer and director Anna Kerrigan doesn't sensationalize her story.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Cowboys" remains committed to inspecting complex feelings and displays of limited impulse control, creating an involving page-turner for the big screen.
Philadelphia Gay News
Gary M. Kramer
Kerrigan's film is worthwhile and puts a queer spin on a familiar Western tale of pursuit.
The Spool
Lisa Laman
Both a fascinating recontextualization of Western norms and just a touching father/son yarn.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Cowboys supplies [these characters] the chance to open their eyes with an authenticity that's not without its tragedies, but hope is never far behind.
IndieWire
Jude Dry
The film takes a broader lens than the intimate story prescribes, but the final view is still a stunner.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Zahn brings great warmth to one of his most surprising performances yet, as does the usually radiant, unexpectedly severe Bell... both comedic actors given a chance to defy expectations in a movie that fully embraces the spirit of reinvention.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Uneven but original and captivating.
