Gentlemen Broncos

Gentlemen Broncos

20091hr 29min

An awkward but wide-eyed teenage fan of speculative fiction pours his heart into an epic fantasy tale and journeys to a writers’ convention hoping to share it with like-minded people. Brightly imagined and earnest, his story becomes a private refuge from the oddities of his small-town life and the eccentric adults around him. The film follows his single-minded devotion to storytelling as he navigates the strange social landscape of the convention.

That dream turns sour when an established, charismatic novelist appropriates the teen’s ideas, recasting and publishing them as his own. Hurt and outraged, the young writer confronts the bitter reality of artistic theft and the power imbalance between a famous author and an aspiring creator. The encounter spirals into a series of bizarre, often hilarious confrontations that force the boy to defend his voice.

Gentlemen Broncos is a surreal, deadpan comedy that juxtaposes loopy fantasy sequences with painfully awkward real-world moments. The movie visualizes the protagonist’s vivid imagination in exaggerated, comic detail, while populated by eccentric characters whose quirks amplify the satire. The film’s off-kilter humor and stylized performances create a world that feels both juvenile and strangely profound.

At its heart the story is a coming-of-age fable about originality and self-worth, examining how a young artist learns to reclaim his ideas and assert himself. It celebrates the stubborn creativity of youth even as it skewers pretension and cultural gatekeepers. The result is an oddball, spirited romp that’s equal parts silly and sincere.
