In 1981, two musical legends gather at a Scottish cottage on the Mull of Kintyre for a tense summit surrounded by the smell of breaded vegetarian food and the whiff of a potential Global Smash hit single.

Ebony and Ivory Ratings & Reviews
The SS Ben Hecht
Stephen Silver
You're either going to be on this movie's wavelength or not, but I found it almost entirely unwatchable.
MovieWeb
Juan Barquin
To watch the work of Jim Hosking is to endure the kind of torture that the Cenobites promised; for some there is only excruciating pain, but others will find great pleasure in it. Ebony & Ivory defies ratings.
Clash Magazine
Victoria Luxford
There's surreal, and then there's whatever this film is. There is something admirable about a movie that is so gleefully silly.
In Review Online
Luke Gorham
Superficial grotesquerie and word salad-driven social intercourse [misses] the point of Hosking's comedy. He understands the punchline to be passé - or put differently, the punchline to be its very absence.
The Playlist
Warren Cantrell
Artistically irredeemable and impossible to recommend on any basis whatsoever, about the only thing "Ebony & Ivory" succeeds at is matching the artistic value of the eponymous song: a dubious distinction if ever there was one.

Ebony & Ivory wastes your time, knows it's wasting your time, knows that you know it's wasting your time, and loves that you know. Make no mistake: it has extremely niche appeal. But having watched this film, I think I can safely say I'm in that niche.

"Ebony and Ivory" is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen.

[T]he experience of it is trying and borderline painful.
FandomWire
M.N. Miller
Jim Hosking's film is absurd, painfully awkward, and gonzo-original... but not in a good way or a bad way, just in its own, unmistakably Hosking way.
New York Times
Calum Marsh
Grating, juvenile and repetitive, this eccentric stoner farce written and directed by Jim Hosking feels at times more like an experiment in social conditioning than a comedy...
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Surrealist absurdity of the highest (or is that lowest?) order, a comedy that's so unabashedly out there that it practically dares audiences to reject it.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Hosking continues his hunt for slow-burn strangeness with the offering, but his creative drive is noticeably lacking this time around, showing more concentration on repetition in a feature that's not easy to endure, even during its most inspired moments.
HollywoodInToto.com
Christian Toto
'Greasy Strangler' director returns with aggressively unwatchable anti-comedy.
InSession Film
Nadine Whitney
Ebony and Ivory is absolute nonsense and absolute brilliance, and if you don't start choke laughing at some stage, get the person next to you to check your pulse.
Spectrum Culture
Alan Zilberman
It is a showcase for an entirely different, compelling style of movie acting. The two leads make zero attempt to soften their characters, and while they sometimes lean into shtick, they courageously operate without any care for subtext or good taste.
