Cry Macho is the latest movie directed by Clint Eastwood.
Plot, Synopsis
A onetime rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder, in 1978, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home and away from his alcoholic mom. Crossing rural Mexico on their back way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman may find his own sense of redemption through teaching the boy what it means to be a good man.

Movie Reviews
“The simplicity of the story Eastwood is telling would seem to suit his unvarnished, unfussy style, though frankly, a bit more fuss wouldn’t have gone awry” Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times
- “Maybe it’s true that it’s never too late to find a new home. But in some ways, it feels like “Cry Macho” has missed the bus (…) Rating: ?? (out of 4)” Michael O’Sullivan: The Washington Post
- “Eastwood remains a filmmaker of ageless diverting classicism, but this road movie is a minor affair” Owen Gleiberman: Variety
