Leonie Cooper Time Out Pillion is a wonderful film that’s heavy with purpose... All that and it’s also very, very hot. Rated: 5/5 Oct 21, 2025 Full Review India Block London Evening Standard It’s also a sublime piece of art. It’s outrageous that director Harry Lighton, 32, has made such an assured directorial debut. Rated: 5/5 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Keith Uhlich Slant Magazine If there’s humor to be found in some of the particulars, it’s never to judge or to poke fun, but to revel in the very real delights of consensual sexual roleplay. Rated: 3/4 Oct 8, 2025 Full Review David Crow Den of Geek from those unusual beginnings springs the most unconventional love story of the year. It is also the most surprisingly human and heartfelt we have so far seen, in spite of Raymond’s best efforts. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast A stellar directorial debut feature for Lighton. Funny, sexy and occasionally surprising, Melling and Skarsgård shine in a tale about finding what works in a relationship - and opening your eyes to something different. Rated: 4/5 Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Emma Kiely Collider Pillion is a tremendous debut from Harry Lighton, a unpredictable tale that combines a compelling coming-of-age story, an endearing comedy, and a sex-positive odd romance into one of the best films of the year. Rated: 9/10 Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
