Critics Consensus

A windingly intricate and delirious sci-fi thrill ride washes over the senses and steadily flows through Caddo Lake.

Newsday

There's enough plot for about 30 or 45 minutes, stretched to feature film length.

Rated: 1.5/4

AV Club

Held and George’s film twists and turns, but charting their narrative swamp is a simple and unrewarding exercise.

Rated: C-

It helps to have a pair of leads who commit to the immediacy of their characters, never winking at the camera like lesser performers would with a script that’s this fundamentally insane.

Rated: 3/4

The Movie Blog

Caddo Lake may not be for everyone, but it’s definitely a conversation starter. It’s the kind of film you’ll want to discuss afterward, trying to figure out how all the pieces fit—or if they even fit at all. It’s messy, confusing, and at times brilliant.

Rated: 7/10

John Daniel Tangalin

The Cinema Spot

Caddo Lake‘s subtext relies on how much the human brain functions, including the psychological concept of memory and people’s ability to deal with information as they please.

Rated: 4.5/5

Cody Allen

Geek Vibes Nation

Caddo Lake explores grief, family, and buried secrets that resurface when least expected. The film’s shifts—from intense family drama to supernatural chaos—might feel abrupt, but they work because the emotional core remains steady.

Rated: 7/10

This movie is INSANE!!! You definitely have to pay a lot of attention to understand what's going on, but it's SO good. Very psychological and will mess with your mind. You have to be very logical to put the pieces together. It can get confusing if you don't. Anyway, it's very hard to find well made and thought-out psychological movies, but this one outdoes them all.

Very boring and the ending is not worth all the building up. I only watched because I think Dylan OBrien is super cute

A unique story that doesn't spend too much time on character development in order to get you into the thick of the eerie, horror, sci-fi, family drama plot.

Great movie! A bit predictable and not a new premise. But it was written and directed well. I'd like to see more work from the two directors.
