Review of “She Rides Shotgun” / “The Education of Polly McCloskey”
Don’t let your Spanish address fool you: Education of Polly McCloskey It’s not a cute movie, but it’s one that honors console premieres. The name chosen for his site on Prime Video is justified by trying to indicate what the girl experiences, although the original (She’s riding shotgun), no matter how complex “selling” in Spain is, it has dimension. As powerful as Taron Egerton’s performance and outstanding cover letter (in terms of relief) Written by Anna-Sofia Heger, it offers standout moments of drama and tension Based on the story of a man who wants to save his daughter, and to do so, despite himself, he must drag her through his world. An obstacle that begins with the decisions he makes, which serve as the context for the narrative.
An adaptation of Jordan Harper’s novel was based The discrepancy between the parent-child bond (What exists by nature, even if morality does not develop it, and what is established) And violenceHere she is held captive by a racist gang dedicated to drug trafficking.
A Escape Path is very well directed by director Nick Rowlandwhose treatment encourages an outlook on comfort Details regarding the behavior of the heroesThere is a difference between reactions and attitudes that are governed by circumstances and those that form small corridors of emotional connection and relaxation in the face of risks and problems.
These nuances determine the dynamics of A great beginning, capped by Polly’s long wait when no one comes to pick her up after classalone on the grass near the now-closed school, until the father she’s never seen suddenly bursts in in a stolen car.

He denies it, but soon after, in the hotel room, he discovers the painful and horrific truth by changing the TV channel and turning on the news while his father sleeps in the next bed.
Meaning also flows In the Truckers Church, when the girl helps her father bandage the bullet wound leg, and expands into the stance with the gun, both because of what happens when one of the henchmen finds them and because of what the adult, who doesn’t want to spoil a good thing, asks him to please afterward.
Continuing to ring, Roland picks up One of the best closings of this cinematic year. The ending activates again the issue of contrast (from other parameters) which stopped at the girl’s expression, It raises the question of how what you’ve been through has affected you. This decision, in turn, is linked to the sad tone (indicating what is difficult) that was directed throughout the process.
Aside from Edgerton and Heger, the director’s good relationship with the performers is also evident in the film Great supporting contributions from Rob Younga sad-looking police officer who wants to help and at the same time needs a Trojan horse (showcase scene, covered by the director’s only factor, and the factor of a surprise visit from his partner), And the terrifying and majestic John Carroll LynchThe God (or rather Satan) who controls everything.
