Robert Levin Newsday There's enough plot for about 30 or 45 minutes, stretched to feature film length. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club Held and George’s film twists and turns, but charting their narrative swamp is a simple and unrewarding exercise. Rated: C- Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 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 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Anthony Whyte 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 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review 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 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review 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 Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Ale C Dyan is not a great actor in my opinion, which makes My experience a bit lame. The idea though is nice and very original. Keeps you guessing for sure. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review R P The time twists of the swamp absolutely engage ones curiosity. The subtle clues from beginning to end that you need to fit together is quite rewarding. I watched it a second time the following day and picked up on more subtle details. The sounds and soundscape are just how they should be, eerie and curious. Excellent work! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Sameir A After a slightly confusing start, Caddo Lake quickly develops into an intriguing and intense thriller. The film becomes truly gripping as it goes on, and while there were opportunities to make the plot even more complex, it’s a relief that the filmmakers chose not to overdo it and risk spoiling the story. If you enjoy tense, thought-provoking movies, this is one to check out. #KiduMovie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review D P Confusing, but not bad overall. I think I connected the timelines and character aging by the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review themoon r Brilliantly written, directed, and acted. They did SO much with SO little. A rare find. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review y s Ok, this was hard to follow and I had to research a little to figure it out. I ended up making a chart to follow the characters and timelines (nerdy, I know) but boy, once I did, I was worn out and very impressed. Great movie!
