The Bikeriders (2023)
Written & directed by Jeff Nichols this film stars Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy. We follow the evolution of a motorbike riding club in the 1960s and 1970s.
Taking a loose inspiration from real events this film does remain grounded and captures something of the biker culture of the era. Where the film falls short is it never really captures the experiences or motivation of the “new members” who come to take over the club and turn it into a real gang. A good character study but fails to get to grips with the larger change in culture in my opinion.
3/5
