Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kirpianuscus cute actors. moral lessons. eulogy to friendship. the wrong way of the shy and naif good boy, not real different by Pinocchio. a beautiful film. or, more exactly, a reasonable good film. who seems say everything. about all. and the choices to explore different circles of life is not real inspired. but the final, like in many similar cases, seems save the errors and the large dose of good and ambitious intentions. result - a nice story about the courage to become yourself. nothing new. maybe, too familiar. but useful as one of stories who seems be a chain of scenes discovered by a stranger on the window to street, in the evening.

Hunky Stud I was cleaning my computer, somehow I found this comment that I wrote for this movie, I don't think that it was published, So here it is.--- There are two things that I remembered the most.1. One of the dialogs between the two characters."Are you gay? Yes, I am. It's the fashion thing, isn't it? It is everything. I am not, by the way. I figured. It is the hair thing, isn't it? It is... everything." That could be one of the things that people can talk about.2. When they were about to see the inspector for their drug problems, the gay guy was very nervous. You can see it through his eyes. The instant he saw the inspector who had sex with him, his eyes changed immediately which he didn't even have to say anything to show that. Therefore, he has proved that he is a good actor for being able to express subtle things just through his eyes.There is one particular scene that did not make any sense to me. When Shane discovered the hidden drug, the next day when he was at the office, one of his workers said to him: "don't worry son, it might never happen." And he smiled back.Another thing that seems to be a little unreasonable is that the drug dealer Keith is gay. He didn't act or look like gay, and he didn't seem to be interested in Shane sexually.Even though Ireland is another English speaking country, however, this movie still seems a little distant from where I am. It is about young people's life, I don't feel that most people can relate in the USA. Overall, it is a good film.

mikeatlarge It's rare to come across exceptionally well done movies like this one that manage to stay hidden for years? Cowboys is a genuine rare gem.This cleverly written Irish drama is highly entertaining and realistic. But it's tilted just a few degrees off axis making it fresh and unpredictable. This is familiar subject matter given a genuine makeover with a few Irish twists. It's the sort of film that makes wading through all the junk at film festivals worthwhile.On a more technical level, it never feels particularly low budget. The lead actors do a very credible job. The cinematography is honest and the sound, in particular, is way above average for this genre. There are a few stray threads hanging off the seams here and there, but the story and main characters are easily captivating enough to keep your attention elsewhere.Others obviously consider this a gay themed movie but I don't agree. There's no gay romance and only a brief moments or hints of gay intimacy. There might be a tiny element of "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" here, but it's just one of many small subplots. It's much more a coming of age movie--and, as such, it clearly excels.

agnesefiducia I LOVE COWBOYS & ANGELS and the protagonist is very very beautiful actor and and an excellent actors! The history is actual in fact there are many young people in this situation.
