Certainly not your standard music flick, Ebony & Ivory is challenging, abrasive and utterly, utterly odd. But if you’re on Jim Hosking’s weirdo wavelength, it’s a demented delight.

Rated: 3/5

Sight & Sound

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

Silliness of this purity is rare.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Someday Ebony & Ivory could share the same space as Samurai Cop or The Velocipastor, yet it lacks the charm and stakes that let so many cult classics earn their cult status.

To watch the work of Jim Hosking is to endure the kind of torture that the Cenobites promised; for some there is only excruciating pain, but others will find great pleasure in it. Ebony & Ivory defies ratings.

Rated: 3/5

The film is as exhausting as it is silly, even at just 85 minutes long, but there’s something to be admired about it.

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
