Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 62% of 26 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Taurus fails to delve deeply into the creative process, but still offers some engaging insight into the double-edged nature of celebrity."[4] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 51 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[7]

Writing for The Times, Ed Potton said that "the real-life rock star Machine Gun Kelly is worryingly convincing as an obnoxious fictional rock star in this bleak showbiz parable."[8] David Ehrlich evaluated with B- on IndieWire saying that "at least it's a tale that Baker lived to tell, and refused to let anyone else tell for him."[9] Writing for Deadline, Anna Smith said that "the love-hate relationship between this bickering pair is a darkly funny and touching one that, like many scenes, offers an insight into the lives of the rich and famous".[10]
