	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"[Hoss] best efforts can’t prevent 'Pelican Blood' from spiraling into outright ludicrousness in its latter stages (...) The film’s early efforts (...) are laudable, but ultimately swamped by so much literal mumbo-jumbo."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Hoss is such a supremely nuanced actor that we watch 'Pelican Blood' both horrified and ensnared (...) Sadly, the film eventually runs aground due to implausible and fantastical plot points"	NEU
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"You'll want to talk about it with others, to analyze and dissect the story, and to figure out whether it actually is an effective film or not."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Gebbe’s ambitious mix of social-realist drama, animal story (...) and elements from the horror, thriller and supernatural playbooks never quite gels"	NEG
