- 75IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandThe imagery and impact of Kindred is impressive, and while it may not stick the landing, the path there is well worth flying.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneySmart and unsettling psychological thriller.
- 67Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleKindred banks on its refined atmosphere and all-too-real story to keep its audience invested, which works to a degree because the film itself is beautifully made, but satisfaction with the ending may vary across horror diehards.
- 50Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganScreen DailyFionnuala HalliganA drama that simmers away on repression but never comes to a fully satisfying boil.
- 50Slant MagazinePat BrownSlant MagazinePat BrownIt’s difficult to shake that the film finishes saying what it has to say long before it staggers to the end.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayIn the end, what we’re left with is an exceptionally well-acted motion picture that mostly fails to move.
- 50RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThe most frustrating thing about the British prenatal horror movie Kindred is not that it’s impersonal, but rather that it’s not personal enough.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s not just that Kindred doesn’t go full “Rosemary’s Baby” with why these strangers want her to have her baby at home where they can get at it, or that we get little clear notion of why they won’t let her “Get Out.” It’s that the movie has very little, suspense and thrills-wise, to offer instead.
- 30The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyA derivative, irritating thriller.
