Pelican Blood Ratings & Reviews
The Playlist
Steven Allison
Even if only those keen on art films will genuinely flirt with the ideas in "Pelican Blood," it deserves a spot up there beside the big boys of German cinema.
Slashfilm
Marisa Mirabal
Pelican Blood is a cinematic lesson in love, patience, and empathy.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Pelican Blood is one of the year's most fearless films, not merely because of what it dares to tackle subject-wise, but how determinedly it adheres to its own free spiritedness right until its very final moments.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Britt Hayes
Far more meaningful than any conventional depiction of female terror that came before it.
HighDef Digest
Deirdre Crimmins
Pelican Blood might not strictly sit within the horror genre, but it will crawl under your skin all the same.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Hoss is engaged and committed throughout, but the movie loses track of its own characters, becoming a horror film that it never really needed to be.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
So much of what works throughout Pelican Blood hinges on our belief that [Kaya] can destroy them all and she absolutely earns that fear.
The Film Experience
Chris Feil
But the balance of occult and melodrama here make a beguiling mix paired with Gebbe's visual and narrative astuteness.
Daily Dead
Sara Clements
If someone decided to make a documentary about those mothers who go on Dr. Phil to talk about how their young child is trying to stab them in their sleep, it would probably look something like Katrin Gebbe's Pelican Blood.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
Pelican Blood touches upon every mother - and woman's - deepest fear. It's not an easy watch by any means - but there's no denying its forceful, searing power and the long, crimson-red shadow it casts.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
A frustrating conversation piece and a somewhat ineffectual exercise in extremes.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
takes a strange turn which brings the conflict to its resolution. ... inventive in its storytelling and its solutions, offers fine performances and is enjoyable as both a dark family drama and a pseudo-horror flick.
Film Inquiry
Jak-Luke Sharp
It fits the blueprints of the latest successful films in horror with its balance of dramatically written material and an underbelly of deliciously spooky horror.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...works best in its deliberate yet fairly engrossing first half...
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
Too much of a good thing.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Hoss's teeth-gritted commitment to the role keeps us on side through more questionable stages of maternal meltdown than many a talented thesp would manage.
