	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"A very personal animated film that explores depression and suicidal tendencies with wit, surreal invention and insight."	POS
United States	Whitney Matheson USA Today	"Baumane examines her family members' history with mental illness (...) with humor, delicacy and eye-catching animation techniques (...) We're treated to splendid and surreal images."	POS
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"Boasting a narrative of extraordinary complexity and density, stuffed with irony, humor and tales-within-tales, the imaginative animated memoir 'Rocks in My Pockets' merges a mini-history of 20th-century Latvia with that of helmer Signe Baumane and her forebears."	POS
United States	Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"With 'Rocks in My Pockets', Signe Baumane presents a sharp, surprising and funny animated feature, plumbing the depths of depression via her family history."	POS
