Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Melling’s high-wire skill at cycling between elation and sadness keeps the film resolutely grounded. It’s a triumphant risk to have taken, and very much the performance of his career to date. Rated: 4/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Elle Lighton radiantly walks a delicate tonal line with feeling and humor within a subculture. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Esther Zuckerman The Daily Beast Pillion is often very funny without ever kinkshaming, thanks to the wry script, Skarsgård’s deadpan, and Melling’s guilelessness. And while there is heartbreak involved the film is also genuinely uplifting. May 20, 2025 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Mashable A raucous tale of physical and emotional exploration. Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A blazing reminder of the inherent power in going one’s own way, even when that way isn’t understandable or decipherable to anyone else. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Tori Brazier metro.co.uk Pillion lets audiences encounter every shade of explicit without veering into hardcore territory... Solely shocking viewers is not the point. Instead we’re immersed in a vivid relationship that leaves its mark after the credits roll. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
