Gabriel Mascaro's sensual, subversive Neon Bull unfolds within the macho world of the vaquejada, a traditional Brazilian form of rodeo. Iremar is a bull wrangler, who aspires to being a fashion designer, and the film follows him and his friends as they travel from rodeo to rodeo dreaming of better days ahead. Balancing a provocative realism with improvisational drama, Neon Bull is a celebration of its characters and their everyday lives as well as their obstinate capacity to dream. It explores the lives of its protagonists in evocative tableaux of fierce, funny, sweaty intimacy which lyrically subverts its macho domain. (Second Run)

A nice curiosity, which is based on the rather simple breaking of the macho stereotype, a nice but not dazzling visual and a dull atmosphere, where sewing is actually the same thing as pulling a bull into the sand. Jokes with a masturbating a horse and a textile pregnant fuck are exactly the type of scenes that make a festival, but as a whole a rather forgettable film by an undeniably talented director. #kviff2016

I don't like these movies very much. They're not trying to do anything more than capture interesting human stories or an interesting way of life. It succeeds in that, but the film just doesn't do anything for me. It's good, it's surprisingly well made, but little of this film will stay in my head, although the final sex scene was good.
