- [New] | Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Pillion (which is the name of the secondary seat on a motorcycle on which Colin rides multiple times in the film) operates at a storytelling level that is difficult to achieve. Many people will not fully understand the film’s central relationship, but the way it is showcased by Lighton makes it compelling, gut-wrenching, and sexy.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: British writer/director Harry Lighton makes a startlingly assured feature debut, a most unconventional love story that is frankly sexual, surprisingly funny and ultimately moving…Melling has made Colin unforgettable
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Pillion is a rousingly successful debut feature for Harry Lighton as he portrays typical romantic strife in an atypical leather kink relationship.

- [New] | Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: So Pillion is a gay male version of Babygirl and The Chronology of Water, where the sub’s experience with S&M teaches them to ask for the things they want in the bedroom and in the relationship. Except, Lighton’s movie is better than those because its observations about BDSM come paired with psychological insight, as well as genuine chemistry between the two leads.
