Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLogan Cormier, who plays Jackson's friend Leo, is a professional jockey who, at the time of filming, was trying to get his career and life back on track after spending 16 years in prison on drug charges. Clifton Collins got him an audition after the two met in the jockey room at the Turf Paradise racetrack, where the film was both made and set, and Cormier made such an impression on writer-director Clint Bentley that Bentley not only cast him as Leo, but expanded the part for him.

Good Movie!
Jockey follows an aging jockey as he aims for a final championship when a rookie rider arrives claiming to be his son. This feels like The Mustang to me in style. Clint Bentley does very well directing. He also co-writes the story with Greg Kwendar. It took me a while to get into it and I did have some pacing issues throughout. Getting past all that, this is a beautiful movie. Clifton Collins Jr., who won an award for his acting here, does very well. He leads the whole thing from start to finish. We also have to good performances from Molly Parker and Moises Arias. The cinematography is beautiful and same with the score. This feels like one of those good indie movies that no one knows about. The story does go in places where you'd expect it to and I wanted more diversity in what it had to offer. Still, this is a solid movie.
