Hatching Ratings & Reviews
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Bergholm isn't exactly subtle about doling out the metaphors, but "Hatching" sustains a fugue state of empathy and unease that puts it within shouting distance of David Lynch, and Solalinna is impressive in the lead...
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
Completely [creepy], but also surprisingly sweet and observant about what it's like to be a 12-year-old girl.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Hatching" is bigger than its ideas, and uncanny and unsettling in unconscious ways.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Hatching never really congeals into something thats as unsettling as it is gross.
TheWrap
Lena Wilson
Subversive, stomach-churning, and visionary, a body-horror film that doubles as a fable of femininity gone wrong.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
Hatching is an assured and promising debut for Bergholm with a jaw-dropping ending that may just cement it as a cult classic in the making.
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
There is no compelling nature to this porcelain family. It's like stepping into a dollhouse, and while beautiful aesthetically, the hollowness permeates the atmosphere almost too well.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A sometimes uneasy merger of monster movie and psychological horror - with a dollop of social-media satire - this inventive first feature mines tween confusion... for grotesque fun.
AV Club
Richard Newby
An unsettling and surprisingly humorous foray into body horror and learned behavior.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Like many great monster movies, "Hatching" uses a monster as a metaphor for repressed emotion, and the creature at the center of this film is one of the most uniquely grotesque creations seen on screen in a long time.
Fox 10 Phoenix
Allison Shoemaker
A squirmy, anxiety-inducing pleasure... A body-horror/creature-feature hybrid done up in florals, feathers and lace. Maybe don't eat first.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Funny at points and scary at others, Bergholm's trippy feature debut is a shocking oddity that you can't stop watching.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
The ham-handed allegorical construction, generically titled characters, and self-serious tone in its final third drains the story of the specificity that might have resulted in a more incisive critique of the perils of perfectionism.
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
For longtime horror buffs, this feels like something fresh: a simple story, told in the rawest and most startling way, and given a face out of nightmares.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
An alternately beautiful and disgusting metaphor for the grossness of girlhood, Hatching is somehow a mash-up of Eighth Grade, Gremlins, and E.T.
RogerEbert.com
Isaac Feldberg
An endearingly grotesque horror-comedy about the messiness of parenting.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Bergholm is skilled at keeping the tension high while finding amusing pockets of pure comedy...
Variety
Tomris Laffly
One could... think of it as the weird lovechild of "American Beauty" and a grotesque version of "E.T.," with the uncanny touch of Yorgos Lanthimos.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
A highly original coming-of-age thriller...
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Bergholm helms an atypical, satirical horror story and a complete corruption of idyllic suburban bliss. It begins stronger than it finishes, but it's hard not to fall for Tinja and her ghastly baby.
