Nothing hinders surrealism more than the sense that its creators are actively working for it, though Koko-di Koko-da is nonetheless difficult to dismiss.

What are critics saying?
It certainly doesn’t help that Tobias and Elin are entirely banal characters with nothing to define them but their loss.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Though at times tasteless and barely coherent, the story is oddly affecting, the very strangeness of Nyholm’s folkloric vision and its unnerving execution pulling you in.
Los Angeles Times by Michael Ordona
The film mixes horror elements with surreal fantasy and the crushing realism of a serious family drama. It’s metaphorical, vague but also precise in its specificity for the horrific trials these people are to face — their personal hell.
