    Translated from swedish: In terms of storytelling, the film follows a classic structure. It's the typical tale of the lone man and his struggle. About the relentless pursuit of achieving the masculine ideal, an invulnerable individual who never says no. "The Rider" resonates with its clear message that showing vulnerability has inherent value. However, I miss a greater depth, a broader discussion about masculinity's virtues and restrictive nature.
