There is a warmth among the Black men and women that form the horseback riding community in North Philadelphia, and the appealing drama Concrete Cowboy lets viewers sit around a campfire with these characters as they drink, smoke, and talk about the whitewashing of Black history, real estate development, and other forces threatening their heritage. But this film, which premiered during last fall s Toronto International Film Festival, does not sit back and relax very often.
The story opens with Cole (Caleb McLaughlin of Stranger Things ) being expelled from school in Detroit. His mother drives him to North Philadelphia to spend the summer with his father Harp (Idris Elba), a sanitation worker who is active with the nearby Fletcher Street stables. Cole is more than reluctant; he barely knows his father and does not get along with him when they do talk.
