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

... A satisfying puzzle in which you could point out what is happening and still have doubts. [Full review in Spanish]

It's way overcomplicated. It ultimately pays it all off, but it takes real investment.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

A film you should feel with your heart, because time, like love and family, is not always logical.

**3.5/5 Stars – “Caddo Lake” Is a Mysterious Ride Worth Taking** Always down for anything with Dylan O’Brien, and *Caddo Lake* delivers—slowly, but surely. It starts off as your standard small-town thriller: eerie, emotional, with just enough drama to keep you leaning in. The first half is pure mystery slowburn, but halfway through, bam—sci-fi enters the chat, and I *loved* it. Totally caught me off guard in the best way. There’s a killer plot twist that flips everything you thought you knew, and I’m a sucker for that. Acting? Great. Vibes? Suspenseful and haunting. Execution? Solid, though not perfect—I just wish they explained more about the time shifts. That one dangling question kinda nags at you. But still, it’s the kind of film you think about afterward, which says a lot. If you like mystery with a side of the unexpected, give this one a go. Bonus points if you’re a Dylan fan.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This was wooooow! It was so complex. Like it reminded me of FROM, and the only reason people gave low stars is mainly because they didn't get the plot. In order to get the plot, you can't miss details. There was no loop holes...everything made sense. You just have to pay close attention or you will get confused for missing the slightest thing. It was fascinating and amazing experience for me. Won't give no spoilers, just watch the movie please.

The performances are pretty solid, but the plot is too muddy and there is some odd looking CGI-ish type imagery which looked "off".

Definitely a good watch if you're looking for a psychological drama to take up your spare time. Very confusing during the watch but it all makes sense in the end.
