Screen RantAlex HarrisonJun 21, 2024
Gradually, everything becomes burdened with story. The more the triangle of Kathy, Benny, and Johnny is played up for drama, the less interesting it becomes. Read full review

Time OutKambole CampbellJun 20, 2024
Like some of the ’50s and ’60s biker flicks it homages, The Bikeriders runs out of gas in a predictable final reel that never quite delivers the promised heartache. Still, it’s an intelligent and strikingly photographed film, a journalistic but romantic snapshot of a moment in time lost forever. Read full review

EmpireBeth WebbJun 17, 2024
More of a slow burn than a thrill-ride, this study of bygone motorhead mentality at its most visceral and violent is gorgeously shot — but only nicks the surface. Read full review

The film wallows in a particular brand of Americana — denim and leather, cornfields and Harley-Davidsons, crumpled packs of cigarettes and boilermakers on the bar at a dive — without being comfortable laying claim to it. Read full review

The Bikeriders displays the cost of noninterventionist direction, of sticking to source material with a self-inhibiting fidelity. These characters are still in search of their auteur. Read full review

It looks beautiful, and there are no weak links within the stacked ensemble, but it winds up feeling alarmingly empty. Read full review

ColliderEmma KielyOct 5, 2023
While Comer makes a committed effort to carry the film, it falls flat in its excessive filler, undeveloped characters, and symphony of bonkers accents. Read full review

The Film StageCaleb HammondSep 6, 2023
The Bikeriders is at its best when it’s a loose look at an inconsequential motorcycle club in ’60s Chicago. In our current era, where real subcultures are generally extinct from the Internet’s monopoly on shaping culture, a straightforward, fun, albeit idealistic look at what public community can offer men would’ve been enough of a statement for audiences to consider.

Reverence can sap the life out of a film—that and too much acting. And boy, is there a lot of acting in The Bikeriders. Read full review
