A burnished, low-key showcase for two exceptional character actors. TWITTER In a drama filmed among real-life horse-racing professionals, Clifton Collins Jr. portrays a middle-aged rider facing tough realities, and Molly Parker is the trainer he's worked with for years. Against-the-odds gambles and the hope for one last chance — these are the dreams that drive horse-racing movies, whether the mood is noir-bleak ( The Killing) or feel-good rousing ( Seabiscuit). Jockey fits right into that lineage, but what sets it apart is its focus on the working-class realities of the riders, grooms and trainers who travel the smaller circuits, far from the glamour and money of the Triple Crown. Writer-director Clint Bentley is the son of a jockey, and his feel for the milieu and its denizens informs every aspect of the intimate drama. As two long-timers eyeing potential breakthroughs in middle age, Clifton Collins Jr. and Molly Parker deliver beautifully tempered turns, with fine support from Moises Arias in the role of an up-and-comer with a mournful gaze.

Sony Pictures Classics Wins Horse Racing Drama ‘Jockey’ Sundance 2021: Clifton Collins Jr. stars in the film from director Clint BentleyBrian Welk | January 30, 2021 @ 6:56 PM Last Updated: January 30, 2021 @ 7:27 PM Sony Pictures Classics/Courtesy of Sundance Institute Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the worldwide rights to “Jockey,” a horseracing drama starring Cliff Collins Jr. that will make its premiere in competition at Sundance on Sunday. The film is directed by Clint Bentley in his directorial debut and written by Bentley and Greg Kwedar. It stars Clifton Collins Jr., Molly Parker, Moises Arias, Logan Cormier and Colleen Hartnett. Collins stars as an aging jockey who 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. The arrival of a young rookie rider (Arias), who claims to be his son and whom he takes under his wing, further complicates the path to fulfilling his dream.
