After winning rave reviews on the festival circuit last year On Swift Horses, starring Jacob Elordi and Daisy Edgar-Jones, finally has a theatrical release date. The film, which is based on Shannon Pufahl’s acclaimed novel, will be released in theatres across North America on Friday, April 25, 2025.
On Swift Horses is directed by Daniel Minahan (Fellow Travelers) and follows Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her husband Lee (Will Poulter) as they are beginning a bright new life in California. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother, Julius (Jacob Elordi), a wayward gambler with a secret past. Despite her marriage to Lee, Muriel finds herself drawn to Julius, who is queer, setting the stage for a compelling and dangerous love triangle.
“It’s a time when being gay or exploring the spectrum of queerness could land a person in jail or worse, and perspectives can get clouded based on the type of person you choose to trust,” IN‘s Matthew Corinth wrote in September 2024 after the film premiered at TIFF. The film’s premise hinges on the fact that many of the characters within the framework are inherently queer, though it doesn’t say much more about why they all come to this realization at the very same time.”
“Jacob Elordi’s Julius has an epic journey in On Swift Horses, the complete opposite of his spoiled rich 20-something character in last year’s much-talked-about Saltburn. Equally queer-baiting as his previous film, the Australian actor’s turn here will satisfy some audiences eager to watch him make passionate love to Diego Calva’s character in some steamy scenes.”
On Swift Horses hits theatres across North America on Friday, April 25, 2025.
