'National Anthem' is a gorgeous-looking debut film from Luke Gilford about the world of queer rodeo. Our SXSW23 review.
To be perfectly honest, before watching National Anthem I was incredibly unfamiliar with gay rodeos and the International Gay Rodeo Association. I've never really been a fan of rodeos in general or ever been to one. For me, the main selling point of this film was Charlie Plummer.
The overall plot of National Anthem is nothing too new outside its setting, we've seen these tales of self-discovery time and time again. The story structure is quite loose and flows at its own pace never feeling rushed but never too slow, letting Dylan's journey play out much more organically.
The biggest standout of the cast, however, is Mason Alexander Park as Carrie, a non-binary drag queen who grew up in a strict conservative family. Park has such an electric screen presence and perfectly bounces off of all their costars. Park really expands the role of Carrie beyond just what the script gave them and leaves the biggest impression once the credits roll.
