Film Critic, Age 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jockey<\/em>\u00a0is about a famous and talented jockey named Jackson (Clifton Collins, Jr.) Jackson is looking forward to winning his last race, but he has been suffering from pain due to the multiple injuries through the years of competing in horse races. He meets this young man named Gabriel (Moises Arias) who claims to be his son and starts working with him. Jackson is not happy about the news, but still takes him under his wing and trains him to be a jockey. Jackson feels threatened by Gabriel because he becomes a good jockey and might take his place soon. The film has a twist that will leave the audience in awe. You need to watch the movie to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JOCKEY | Official Trailer (2021)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YWI6Q-yKFbc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.b-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1459\" width=\"225\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.b-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.b-1024x428.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.b-768x321.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.b.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jockey<\/em> is written by Clint Bentley and directed by Bentley and Greg Kwedar. It has beautiful scenery like the sun rising above a lake. The music is appealing and goes well with each scene. My favorite scene is when Jackson is training Gabriel at the jockey&#8217;s training gym. Gabriel sits on a horse-like device. It shows how jockeys gain confidence training on this device, how they work on their grip and how to manage a horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.d-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1461\" width=\"225\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.d-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.d-1024x428.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.d-768x321.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/jockey.d.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The moral of this movie is that being vain doesn&#8217;t take you anywhere. Jackson is a proud and vain jockey. He thinks he\u2019s so good that he\u2019s irreplaceable until he realizes he is not the young jockey he used to be. It took Gabriel to open his eyes.<br><br>I give\u00a0<em>Jockey<\/em>\u00a05 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 13 to 18, plus adults. This movie is rated R.\u00a0<em>Jockey<\/em>\u00a0will be released in theaters on February 4, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An aging jockey is determined to win one last championship, but his dream is complicated when a young rookie shows up claiming to be his son.
