B+
Right at the moment when it seems like "Ride or Die" might run out of gas, someone drops by to remind us how powerful it can be when people let their most primal emotions take the wheel. Go to Full Review

3/5
In the end... Ride or Die boasts strong performances, and its beautiful cinematography takes viewers from metropolitan restlessness to the liberating seaside. Go to Full Review

A frustrating experience as much as a sentimental one. Go to Full Review

Plenty of double-themed movies have been made over the years, but Ride or Die seems like an ideal companion piece to Persona. Both films are sexually provocative, and both require multiple viewings..." Go to Full Review
Christopher Bourne In Review Online 09/26/2021
The whole film ... totally smacks of male gaze exploitation. Go to Full Review
James Hanton The Indiependent 05/12/2021
3 / 5
Powered by heated conflict and occasional moments of grace ... Hiroki's violent romance is about as messy and self-victimising as the love that it brings to the screen. Go to Full Review

Veronique M 07/15/2024 I wanted to give this a chance because the camera shots and story was interesting... but theres so much pointless sex with random guys that pop out of nowhere. You can remove those scenes easily and the story would not change. There is no chemistry with the characters, they are too long and they feel like some weird fantasy the director had on their actor. I specifically hate the one with the taxi driver because the next conversation is supposed to be about homosexuality and it falls flat and has 0 emotional impact. Have some self control, it ruined your movie. Your fetish is visible, and it's gross.

See more 12/29/2021 Love it....this is super (18+) See more 11/26/2021 It's like someone created a movie out of your lesbian fantasies. It's full of drama and lots of sexy scenes. I would only recommend it if you are a lesbian romance fanatic, otherwise, it can get boring at times. See more 10/20/2021 the film burns the stages, delivering all the supporting elements of the plot in the very first part. What follows is a film that drags on trying to tell a toxic relationship between two women. See more Read all reviews
