Pillion Ratings & Reviews
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Writer-director Lighton, who adapted the script from Adam Mars-Jones' 2020 novel "Box Hill," manages to make "Pillion" reasonably explicit, unreasonably funny and altogether charming - it's a kink-fest you could take your grandmother to.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
Pillion is a bold, bawdy film told through small looks and big feelings. It broke my heart and put it back together again.
The Reveal
Scott Tobias
Pillion does succeed as a first-time love story for Colin, who needs to figure out how submissives, too, can negotiate their own terms.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Lighton's deft touch brings viewers into their story without softening the graphic sex scenes. His strength is in making the specific universal, and he makes Melling's character impossible not to root for.
Seattle Times
Dominic Baez
More coming-of-age than love story, Pillion finds joy in Colin's journey of learning who he truly is. His road there is a little bumpy - like riding on the back of a motorcycle - and it may be a path less traveled, but it's a worthwhile one all the same.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Onscreen, Lighton explores the imbalance between the two and gently leads the audience with sympathy and empathy to a perfect resolution that asks both to face their own dysfunction.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's a mature and thought-provoking film about learning to love and embrace your kinky self before committing to someone else.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
The sex scenes are refreshingly graphic, but they're never used for shock value. The real shock comes from how emotionally involved the characters become within the construct of their kink.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Lighton mixes the raunch with a sweet positivity by focusing on Colin's growth and Ray's vulnerability.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
In this queer BDSM romdomcom with a core of sweetness, Alexander Sarsgård and Harry Melling bring passion and compassion to a taboo subject rare in mainstream cinema. It's about time.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
You want screen representation of a highly specific queer lifestyle? You'll get it. But Pillion never forgets there's a deeper story happening underneath all the sex.
Wall Street Journal
Zachary Barnes
It could have been simply shocking, revving its engine in sexed-up style. Instead, as a vehicle for a pair of wonderful performances, "Pillion" purrs.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
Kinky as hell and also extremely romantic. That's not a combo a lot of movies go for nowadays, let alone pull off this beautifully, and that makes 'Pillion' something of a miracle.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
With screenwriter/director Harry Lighton's keen awareness of power dynamics within a couple, the script's choice to celebrate rather than judge, and Skarsgård's magnetic performance and Melling's sensitive one, Pillion is a racy but compassionate romance.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Pillion is a movie about self-discovery; it's also very funny.
RogerEbert.com
Zachary Lee
It's quietly devastating ode to the power of that self-discovery, a reminder that perhaps one of life's greatest tragedies is that we can't always remain in a relationship with the people we learn the most valuable lessons from
Los Angeles Times
Amy Nicholson
Perhaps you'd like to be taken to dinner first, but "Pillion" is about Colin's needs - specifically his need to please - and first-time feature filmmaker Harry Lighton challenges us to root for his bliss.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Lighton is more keen to enjoy the unfolding dynamics of a relationship in the extreme, one that ultimately, like any other, is guided by needs and wants. And the performances are uncanny.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Pillion is a film about self-knowledge, and about asserting one's needs and boundaries without shame.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Walking a line as delicate as shattered silk, "Pillion" deftly navigates between salacious and sweet, raunchy and romantic.
