Dress A Cow

About This Movie

So, 'Dress A Cow' is this quirky little documentary that dives into a long-standing tradition at the Canfield County Fair in Ohio. It’s not just about cows dressed up in costumes, though; it’s really a deep dive into what we consider beauty and how that differs between humans and animals. The pacing is interesting—slow at times, almost meditative, but it allows you to really soak in the absurdity and charm of the event. The practical effects are literally just cows in outfits, but somehow that makes it more poignant. The lack of a known director adds a layer of mystery to it, like you’re watching a piece of Americana unfold without the interference of a heavy hand behind the camera. It’s distinctive in its simplicity, really.
