Jockey | 2021 | R | – 1.4.7
Why is “Jockey” rated R? The MPAA rating has been assigned for “language.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes some flirting, a couple of shower and locker room scenes with partial nudity, a few scenes of jockeys being injured in horse races, discussions of multiple injuries from falls and being trampled by horses, a few arguments and over 20 F-words and other strong language. Read our parents’ guide below for details on sexual content, violence & strong language.
An aging jockey (Clifton Collins Jr.) struggling with the demons of numerous injuries, takes a young man (Moises Arias) under his wing hoping to leave behind a winning legacy. Also with Molly Parker, Logan Cormier, Vincent Francia, Marlon St. Julien and Danny Garcia. Directed by Clint Bentley. [Running Time: 1:34]
Jockey SEX/NUDITY 1
– A young man talks about young women hanging around a track. A man and a woman dance together briefly. A young man tells a man that he is his son and the man denies it, saying that the timing would not have worked out.
► A young man stands in a shower stall and we see his bare chest, shoulders and abdomen. Men are shown shirtless in locker room scenes and we see bare chests, abdomens and backs. A man’s bare back is shown with scars on his shoulder and spine.
Jockey VIOLENCE/GORE 4
– A jockey falls from a horse during a race and is trampled underneath; we see him in a hospital and hear that his pelvis and hips were shattered. A rider is thrown from a bull in a rodeo (he does not seem harmed).
► A man’s hand trembles in a few scenes and he seems to have trouble gripping a whip properly. A man grimaces while working out in a few scenes. A man grimaces and collapses to the floor saying that he cannot feel one side of his body; he recovers after sitting on the floor for a while. A man racing on a horse is sprayed in the face with dirt from the horses ahead of him.
► Horses run on tracks in several scenes in both practice and races; they rumble out of chutes when the gates are opened with a loud clank. A man and a young man work out to lose weight and strengthen for jockeying.
► A man confronts a young man about lying to him and they argue. A man and a woman argue. Men talk about the injuries that they have sustained while being jockeys, which include shattered femurs, broken ribs, punctured lungs, broken noses and jaws, fractured skulls, a brain bleed, and a broken eye socket; one man says that he has lost his sense of taste and smell and it’ll take another hit to the head to get them back. A man takes an X-ray of another man and tells him that he has some serious damage from back injuries. A young man says that he tore his ACL and his knee pops out of the socket. Two men talk about aging and one says that he is like wine and getting better. A man tells a young man that a cup of coffee and a cigarette can replace a meal. A man warns another man about being too weak to ride. A man says that he is not afraid of death only not being able to ride again. A doctor tells a man that what he is suffering from will not improve. A man’s bare back is shown with scars on his shoulder and spine.
► A man vomits in a toilet after an intense workout and we see goo. A man says that he is so hungry he could eat a part of a skunk’s anatomy. A man spits and we see saliva.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
