“It’s all luck really,” says one character in On Swift Horses, a 1950s set queer drama starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Jacob Elordi. Though this character meets Edgar-Jones’ Muriel through gambling on horse races, the luck she’s referring to encompasses so much more. The lives they’re leading, meeting clandestinely in a queer bar in downtown San Diego, two husbands at home waiting for them; how they’ve been able to explore their desires in a way that other characters in the film cannot.
