3/5
Blu Hunt is excellent, the directing style is believable, and the ending manages to compensate for some of the previous narrative flaws. But "Lockjaw" still feels more like an eccentric "curiosity" than a proper feature film. [Full review in Spanish]. Go to Full Review
Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Apr 15
The film doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. What could have been a compelling exploration of self-doubt, addiction, and relationship struggles gets lost in its own repetitive narrative while lacking the emotional payoff it promises. Go to Full Review

6/10
It’s a shoe-gaze version of an ensemble drawing room play, and entertaining watching these social structures crumble in slow motion. Go to Full Review
Jules Caldeira Film Inquiry Mar 21
Though more character study than comedy, and at times a bit drawn out despite its short runtime, Lockjaw is bolstered by solid performances that feel authentic and relatable. Go to Full Review
Chris Cassingham In Review Online Mar 18
One could ungenerously suggest the film’s drawn-out narrative, made up entirely of moments of character development rather than plot, would be better suited to a short film; and it’s hard to disagree. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
While the film sometimes feels like it runs out of things to say, the characters drive forward into the unknown chaos of the night to unravel another layer of insecurity that straddles the line between tragic and hilarious. Go to Full Review
