Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter The screenplay... is light on queer theory or even character motivation. But the comely cast, who contribute admirably athletic, physical performances across the board, have enough charisma and vigor to keep this not-especially-long film jaunty. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Anahit Behrooz Little White Lies Silly, shambolic, and sincere, Kill the Jockey feels like the cinematic equivalent of throwing spaghetti at the wall: not all of it sticks, and some of it is overdone, but there is something charming about the wilfulness of doing it at all. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Awash with kooky gags and bolstered by the strange, soulful presence of leading man Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, it’s fun but flighty, liable to throw some viewers from the saddle. Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Nilton Arana Cinencuentro ...Kill the Jockey is neither provocative nor interesting, if anything it is simply curious and entertaining at times. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Elena del Olmo Andrade Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Halfway between a surreal reflection on the consequences of fame and an experiment around the malleability of bodies. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Ortega opts for a visual and thematic argument that rattles us and forces us to rethink the limits between the real and the absurd, the personal and the collective.

Manuel P Great film from the only talented member of the Ortega family. Keep an eye on this guy, his films are awesome Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Agustin F Es una película que sólo persigue la estética. Cuenta con un par de escenas al principio para venderla, pero después de eso es una película sin sentido, banal y que al final no sirve ni para pasar el tiempo. No tiene una trama interesante ni grandes actuaciones a pesar de su elenco, los críticos en la página dicen que es excelente, dudo que hayan visto la misma película. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Alejo B Muy mediocre, es una película que pretende ser algo que no es. Para comenzar la ambientación parece ser en los 70s, pero en realidad esta ambientada en la actualidad, cosa que no tiene sentido alguno. El guión es inexistente, son solo un grupo de escenas que parecen tener una vaga conexión entre ellas puestas una detrás de otra. Tiene los dos grandes vicios de las películas argentinas: diálogos super escuetos y misteriosos (o pretenciosos) y el mal del abuso de los planos cerrados y fijos, hay que explicarles a esta gente que las películas de Kubrick son buenas por muchas cosas que esta peli no tiene, no por estos planos. Las actuaciones no se puede decir mucho ya que el 90% del tiempo de pantalla de los actores es quieto y sin hablar. Lo bueno? dura solo 90 minutos. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Alfredo S It's just not a story, makes no sense. Quite funny but without a punch or explanation, you can do something better with your life rather than watching this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review To F Pinche película toda rara. Tiene buena fotografía y una escena con una canción muy chida qué destaca de todo lo demás. Es entretenida por su comedia sarcástica pero es toda una rareza. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
