We Got This Covered
Anchored by a music industry veteran in the form of Machine Gun Kelly, Taurus is defined by rock star cliche, yet transcends those narrow perimeters to deliver a poignant piece of drama refreshingly free of pretension.

Taurus is in the business of self-aggrandizement, but this is a film that understands that stardom is inherently aggrandizing.

Mgk/Colson Baker shows off his acting skills while simultaneously being able to relate much to the film which often helps. Not necessarily a movie for those who don't like to feel uncomfortable though as this movie delves into dark topics but in a not so black and white way. I appreciate that subtlety though as you see the characters who are actively enabling the bad sides of the main character ,cole(mgk), still express care for him in their own way and thats a fact I can appreciate instead of making good characters all good and bad characters all bad. And cole at his worst sometimes doesn't even know how much of an jerk he's being and some may be uncomfortable telling him while others try to with the intent to help. Cole is a character who you simultaneously hate, feel bad for, and root for, which why this movie is uncomfortable is the best ways. It challenges you to look past a hard and abrasive exterior and see the heart of someone who is struggling. But at the end of the day it's hard to help someone who won't help themselves or let you help. It's also a look at the darker side of an industry that is supposed to being happiness and entertainment.

Amaizng role done by Colson Baker! This was unbelievable. You could see the pain in his eyes. I know colson Baker can relate a lot to this role and it shows. He is so impressive and deserves everything he has. Such a talented actor/musician ect. What box?

Taurus may not reach the existential heights of “Last Days,” but it’s a step in the right direction for Sutton and a continued reminder that Baker needs more roles that reflect his skill set.

What it’s not very good at getting across is the source of the pain, the disaffection that drives our anti-hero’s excesses or his art.

This is about as valiantly unflattering as vanity projects get. The bad news is that the wispily tragic character of “Cole,” his alienated, self-destructive but wildly popular alter ego, hardly seems worth Baker’s extensive efforts.

The Hollywood Reporter
While Taurus does eventually get around to making a point — something about how the toxic combination of fame, addiction, and the music biz can destroy a young talent — it feels for most of its 98-minute run time like a plotless meander through one dude’s very awful week

Screen Rant
Taurus plays like a personal project, but that doesn’t make it good. However, Baker should take pride in knowing he has a future in acting; he just needs to pick better projects.
