'Ponyboi' Review: An Unabashedly Authentic Tale of Queer Resilience
There's a certain crime thriller formula — think New Jersey accents, mob bosses, pimps and sex workers — that's become a beloved subgenre in the tradition of New Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese. Still, said blueprint often yields a work full of clichés and tired character tropes. These formulaic qualities are the least interesting aspects of Esteban Arango's 2024 Sundance stunner Ponyboi — written by and starring intersex rights activist and GLAAD Award-winning filmmaker River Gallo — as it extends far beyond a run-of-the-mill organized crime flick.
