We slow the pace down a little with Chloé Zhao's quietly devastating film The Rider. Brady Blackburn (played by the remarkable Brady Jandreau, essentially playing himself) awakens from a severe head injury after a horse crushed his skull, and must face a future without the rodeo that defines him — all while holding his family together. It is a heart-wrenching, luminously beautiful piece of filmmaking. I'd suggest bringing tissues. Perhaps two.
