Review by Julie C. Sheppard:

Given the title, The Cowgirl, and the opening country music, we are tipped off that we might be about to embark on some form of emotional “ride”. 

As the story unfolds, we get to enjoy the company of two compelling characters with intriguing stories under their belts. Both performers were able to gradually reveal their secrets and insecurities in a convincing, playful way. 

The countrified wardrobe was right on point with the theme of the film. As for the bar setting, it perfectly framed the couple, who were filmed with skillful camera angles — both from the side and straight on. This adept cinematography allowed us to clearly see their expressive faces, as they eventually and rather sheepishly showed their true colours. 

Without having to spell everything out, I liked the narrative choice to keep us guessing. An amusing, entertaining short, it was quite obvious that the ride was not over, even as the credits rolled.
