I don't like drag, but I thought the story was interesting and well plaid.. Especially the grandma was endearing, who remembered me of my mom, who fought against being admitted in an elder home. Thomas Duplessie played his role wonderfully.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Though Cloris Leachman is always a treat to watch, the rest of the film is mostly boring. The male lead is so good at playing a meh millennial, that the movie itself becomes very meh. Still Leachman fans might find the movie enjoyable for her character if nothing else.

Refreshingly, Phil Connell’s Jump, Darling breaks from many of the tropes we’ve come to expect from queer storylines.

Variety

Those looking for familiar seriocomic beats in a modest but polished LGBTQ-targeted indie will find this pleasant enough.

There's not much new territory explored here but what's surprising is the emotional power of Phil Connell's touching feature.

Gay City News

Duplessie’s drag performances are a highlight and his budding romance with Zachary is sweet, but most viewers will appreciate the late Leachman’s delicate and sometimes foulmouthed performance here.

Jump, Darling... felt true, from the unshowy and natural writing to the realistic performances, one from the beginning and one from the end of a career.
