The almost samurai-like discipline of these performances, compounded by the film’s gruelling, dead-air aesthetic, gives them a non-mimetic grandeur.

“Ebony and Ivory” is one of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen.

There’s surreal, and then there’s whatever this film is. There is something admirable about a movie that is so gleefully silly.

Rated: 6/10

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

With The Greasy Strangler, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, and now this, Hosking proves that his work isn't for everyone, but it sure is singular and unique.

Rated: 3/5

Superficial grotesquerie and word salad-driven social intercourse [misses] the point of Hosking’s comedy. He understands the punchline to be passé — or put differently, the punchline to be its very absence.

Greasy Strangler A++, Tropical Cop Tales A++, Beverly Lufftlynn D-. Ebony and Ivory lives somewhere in between the highs and lows. It’s a bit masterbatory which I would think I’d love from Hoskins orevious genius, but this film is too repetitive, slow and tries your patience in every scene. I appreciate the film. Glad I saw it. Very cool to see a film with 2 actors in one location. Looks and sounds fantastic! But there’s not enough here. No plot, not a lot of anything. Will keep seeing Hoskins films. Fan for life. Would love to collab with him. This film is a bit more of a long short then a full concept feature.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
