'The Bikeriders,' directed by Jeff Nichols and distributed by Focus Features, has made a notable debut in theaters, earning $10 million in its opening weekend. The film, inspired by Danny Lyon's book, presents a nostalgic vision of America's postwar counterculture, focusing on a Midwest motorcycle gang's transformation. The movie has received mixed reviews, with some critics drawing comparisons to 'West Side Story' but with less dancing and more swearing. The New York Times has named it a Critic's Pick, while other reviews describe it as a challenging but potentially rewarding experience. Nichols also reveals that the film is an unconventional love triangle.
