8/10

'She Rides Shotgun" is one of the better films to come out this year. A novel adaptation, its core strength, is the simply mesmerising and deeply moving performances, from the main actors Taron Egerton and Ana Sophia Heger. A father and his daughter caught in a dysfunctional, ultimately doomed relationship, that's defined by the desperate love they share, in a cold, feral world, that preys on the weak and vulnerable. The only downsides I could see here was underlying message, of predatory (dog eat dog) social inequality, feels watered down.Its not helped by the need to define the criminals, by their race. Nor by the candy coated image presented of the US state system of care for orphans, which has a well established reputation, for being awful. In summary, "She Rides Shotgun" is in most respects, a remarkable film. Its emotional impact, with exceptional chemistry between its lead's, defines it. Its not perfect, certainly but its still head and shoulders above most films of 2025, thus far. A must see.
