3/5

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.

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.

OK, you’re either going to be on the wavelength of this absurd-as-absurd-can-be comedy or you really, really will not (I loved every second of it).

You’re either going to be on this movie’s wavelength or not, but I found it almost entirely unwatchable.

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.

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.
