Wendy Ide Screen International Apr 17
It’s a heady, sensual piece of filmmaking that vividly captures the covert erotic charge between the swaggering rancheros. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Jan 30
Dreamlike and frank, Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig’s "Jaripeo" is a clear-eyed survey of the queer culture that exists within Michoacán’s hypermasculine rodeos. Go to Full Review Ariana Martinez LatinaMedia.Co 2d
3/5
At only 70 minutes long, the film’s briskness occasionally thwarts you from reaching across the screen to hold these stories a bit closer. But like a brief ride on a gyrating bull, Jaripeo manages to pack a punch, even if it is on to the next too soon. Go to Full Review Marcelo Paredes Cinencuentro Aug 10

3.5/5

4/5
The greatest strength of Jaripeo is its lightness, in not turning queerness into a tragic story, nor tradition into a punishment. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
