Leslie Felperin 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 Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews One thing is for certain: no sports drama will ever be like Kill the Jockey, or even come close to it, thanks to the successful mixture of the film’s visionary style and the wholly unique journey its characters go through. Rated: 4/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience A film with a superb beat that feels like a long dream, demonstrating a terrific cinematic quality that makes an otherwise familiar story entirely distinct and memorable. Rated: B+ Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Who is who may not always be entirely clear—even to the people on screen—but one thing is evident: "Kill the Jockey" is a glorious ride, through and through.
