When tossed off a horse and thrown into the hospital, what makes you get back on that horse? If you are a jockey, it is professionalism, pride and maybe a little bit of madness, hoping the next ride will take you to glory. In the horse racing drama Jockey, the talented Clifton Collins Jr. gives an affecting performance as an aging jockey, whose body has taken too many spills, grappling with a fading career and grasping at a final chance for glory. Director/co-writer Clint Bentley’s finely-crafted, well-acted, authentic drama about a little seen side of racing created buzz when it debuted at Sundance.
Jockeys are athletes engaged in a dangerous sport, one with a higher rate of injuries than most sports, and where most age out by their thirties. Collins’ character is in his forties,...

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on Wbgr-fm on December 30th, 2021, reviewing a favorite from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, “Jockey” – currently in select theaters, see local listings.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Writer/director Clint Bentley comes from the horse racing world that is the setting for “Jockey,” and imbues his main rider character Jackson (Clifton Collins Jr.) with the old gunslinger mentality. When the young upstart (Moisés Arias) comes to town to challenge Jackson’s legacy, the old horse galloper has to think about riding into the sunset.
“Jockey” is currently in select theaters, see local listings. Featuring Clifton Collins Jr., Moises Arias, Molly Parker, Logan Cormier, Vincent Francia and Marion St. Julien. Written and directed by Clint Bentley. Rated “R”

Sony Pictures Entertainment follows its release of Parallel Mothers last week with Jockey in three theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Friday in a specialty market crowded by holdovers and wide releases, and amid a Covid-19 surge that’s particularly tough on art houses. The frame isn’t ideal for new specialty fare in any case, but gets it on the board for a January rollout ahead of Oscar nominations.
SPC acquired Jockey out of Sundance where it won the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury award for star Clifton Collins Jr. as an aging rider trying to win one last championship race. The directorial debut of Clint Bentley will expand nationwide following its exclusive debut. The Oscar hopeful (87% Rotten Tomatoes’ Critics’ score) was one of Deadline critic Todd McCarthy’s top ten picks of the year. See his review here.

Writer, director and producer Clint Bentley joined the stars of Jockey — Clifton Collins Jr. and Molly Parker — onstage at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles award-season event Sunday to discuss the Sony Pictures Classics horse racing drama.
“It was from a very personal place,” Bentley said. “My dad was a jockey, so I grew up behind the barns, I grew up being babysat by the trainers as he was out exercising horses. There are many horse racing films, but of the ones that we do have, none at all deal with jockeys.”
“I had never seen the back side of the tracks,” said Parker, “where all of the trainers and the jockeys live, so it was a completely new world to me, as I think these guys were saying, to a film audience too. We just haven’t seen this.”

Jockey, which won the Sundance Film Festival U.S. Dramatic Special Jury award for star Clifton Collins Jr.’s acting, will hit New York and LA theaters on Dec. 29. Sony Pictures Classics acquired the film out of the Park City, Utah festival. The movie will expand across the country following its exclusive debut.
Directed by Clint Bentley and written by Bentley and Greg Kwedar, the film also stars Molly Parker, Moises Arias, Logan Cormier, and Colleen Hartnett.
In the film, an aging jockey (Collins) hopes to win one last title for his longtime trainer (Parker), who has acquired what appears to be a championship horse. But the years – and injuries – have taken a toll on his body, throwing into question his ability to continue his lifelong passion. And the arrival of a young rookie rider (Arias), who claims to be his son and whom he takes under his wing, further...

Actor, producer and director Clifton Collins Jr. has signed with CAA.
Collins most recently starred in and executive produced the independent feature “Jockey.” The film premiered in competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, with Collins earning the Dramatic Special Jury Award for best actor.
Variety’s Peter Debruge referred to Collins’ work as a “career-best” role, writing that the actor, “walks like a jockey; he talks like a jockey; heck, he even rides like a jockey — which is a remarkable transformation for a character actor who’s been waiting far too long for such a shot in the saddle.”
To prepare to play Jackson Silva, an aging rider dealing with the physical and emotional baggage of his career, the actor shed 20 pounds to match the slender build of a professional jockey and pushed himself to embody the loner character.
“I cut myself off from the world,” Collins told...
