Cockfighter

A dedicated trainer of fighting cocks makes a vow to remain silent until one of his birds wins a championship. Driven by pride, gambling, and the pursuit of victory, he navigates a rough rural world where his single-minded ambition strains his relationships.

My take

You may appreciate this if you enjoy bleak, character-driven 1970s dramas like Two-Lane Blacktop, but Not for you if graphic animal violence, slow pacing, or morally difficult protagonists are dealbreakers.
