	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"An admirable but low-impact mashup (...) The pieces fit together neatly, with no whiz-bang fuss. What’s missing, though, is the necessary urgency to propel the action."	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"Tthe story turns from scrappy to stupid (...) 'Kin' poses more questions than it answers, and they’re not the cool, speculative kind"	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"The results are, in artistic terms, a modest success (...) [It is] sufficiently offbeat and well-handled to be engaging"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"I can’t and won’t recommend it in good conscience"	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"'Kin' could have been worse, but it’s not satisfying (...) The overall pacing drags"	NEG
United States	Jake Cole Slant	"[It gets] bogged down in inert scenes that regurgitate the same character beats and action ad nauseam (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Kin' never feels like more than uninspired borrowings from other, better genre films; it’s a story about family without any heart."	NEG
