Louisa Moore Screen Zealots The film doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. What could have been a compelling exploration of self-doubt, addiction, and relationship struggles gets lost in its own repetitive narrative while lacking the emotional payoff it promises. Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat It’s a shoe-gaze version of an ensemble drawing room play, and entertaining watching these social structures crumble in slow motion. Rated: 6/10 Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Jules Caldeira Film Inquiry Though more character study than comedy, and at times a bit drawn out despite its short runtime, Lockjaw is bolstered by solid performances that feel authentic and relatable. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Chris Cassingham In Review Online One could ungenerously suggest the film’s drawn-out narrative, made up entirely of moments of character development rather than plot, would be better suited to a short film; and it’s hard to disagree. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Christopher Cross Asynchronous Media While the film sometimes feels like it runs out of things to say, the characters drive forward into the unknown chaos of the night to unravel another layer of insecurity that straddles the line between tragic and hilarious. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Mark Keizer MovieWeb Lockjaw spends its lolloping 80 minutes circling Rayna’s problems, using symbolism that’s better in theory than execution, while also being a rather unexciting look at male jealousy and bonding. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
