Wildcat

About This Movie

Wildcat is a fascinating dive into a Black rodeo culture that feels both intimate and expansive. Kahlil Joseph's direction gives this documentary a distinct flavor, mixing raw documentation with a personal touch through his aunt's story. The pacing is slow, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of Grayson, Oklahoma. There's a wonderful layer of abstraction, which makes you reflect on the community and its traditions. The visuals are striking, capturing not only the rodeo events but also the life surrounding them. The performances, especially from those involved in the rodeo, feel genuine and heartfelt, grounding the film in authenticity. It's this blend of personal narrative and cultural exploration that makes Wildcat stand out.
