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 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.
