Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

"Cowboys janken ook" or "Even Cowboys Get to Cry" is a Dutch 20-minute movie written by Merinde Verbeek and directed by Mees Peijnenburg. The language here is Dutch (so get subtitles perhaps) and the cast is too and I cannot say I am familiar with any of the names included there. About the story, there is not too much to say. It is about a friendship between two guys, nothing gay-themed here, and it gets put to the test when a serious injury happens to one. or maybe not serious as this film tries a lot in terms of drama and tragedy, but it becomes really unauthentic quickly and even fake. The dialogs are sometimes really embarrassing. I do not recommend watching this one. 4 out of 10 is still fairly generous and I hope everybody working in here can step up their games in the future and actually come up with better quality than here.
