About This Movie

So, 'Cowhide' is this quirky little film that dives into the absurdity of rural life through the lens of a farmer's daughter with a rather bizarre aspiration—to become a cow. It’s got this weird blend of comedy and drama that keeps you guessing. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter at times, which somehow works for it, adding to that surreal atmosphere. The performances are a mixed bag but have this raw honesty about them. You see this struggle between dreams and reality, and it’s executed with some clever practical effects that make the whole cow transformation concept feel oddly relatable. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach, leaving you with more questions than answers, in a good way.
