‘Harry Potter’ Star’s Controversial X-Rated Role Shocks Fans—But Earns Unexpected 8-Minute Standing Ovation
The Guardian gave the film ⅘ stars, praising it as a “real love story” that is “basically what Fifty Shades of Grey should have been.”
Pillion is based on Adam Mars-Jones’ novel Box Hill, which was the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Nobel Prize winner.
It was produced by Element Pictures, the Oscar-winning company behind Yorgos Lanthimos’ films The Favourite, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Harry reflected on filming the X-rated sequences and praised his co-star, saying, “Alex is just the most generous, dreamy scene partner, so what could have been quite a daunting experience couldn’t have been more different, really.”
He added: “When you sort out the choreography of it, which is often the most difficult part—you sort out what everyone’s doing, where their hands are going—and then once action is called, you’re in the world of Colin and Ray.”
