About This Movie

Gentlemen Broncos is this quirky little gem from Jared Hess. It’s got that signature Hess vibe, blending offbeat humor with a dash of pathos, which really shines through in the underdog story. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm as we follow our awkward protagonist, Benjamin, navigating the absurdity of the fantasy writer scene. You get these wild practical effects that just embody the DIY spirit—especially in those fun, homemade sci-fi sequences. The performances are quite something too; Jemaine Clement and Sam Rockwell bring unique flavors to their roles. Overall, it’s a strange mix of comedy and drama, with a nice layer of social critique about creativity and originality, all wrapped in a lovingly bizarre package.
