"Sami Blood" is a beautiful, haunting film, anchored by a startlingly accomplished lead performance. It has the feeling of a distant memory - one that is neither entirely pleasant nor painful, but persistent. Jun 29, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

While "Sami Blood" can sometimes seem didactic, Ms. Kernell, who has Sami heritage, richly conveys a sense of the time and place, with elegant shots that glide through the Nordic wilderness. Jun 1, 2017 | Full Review…

Sami Blood tells a very familiar story, but the hyper-specificity of its telling renders it a wholly new and quietly profound experience. Jun 1, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Sparrock's performance is courageous and compelling. Quiet and observant despite that rage and will, Elle-Marja learns from each slight and wound she endures. May 31, 2017 | Full Review…

While structurally familiar in all its narrative beats, Kernell's film is also inherently unique regarding not only the particular populous it represents, but sincerely affecting as a testament to the tribulations associated with the act of "passing." Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A deeply respectful, yet upsettingly incendiary offering, Sami Blood is sure to make an impact when it lands. A very promising debut. Mar 1, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Although the film's impact may be different for each viewer, the universal theme of struggling for acceptance is felt by all, and Sami Blood is a terrific example of this feeling portrayed onscreen. Aug 5, 2018 | Full Review…

At its best, Sami Blood can be read as an especially remarkable footnote about that complex relationship between bodies and the cinematographic framing that appears every so often in film theory. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 16, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Although it's a just film... it takes a long time to gain momentum and when it does it lacks the intensity necessary to distinguish it from other works with a similar theme. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review…
