A strange and enthralling story about the experience of catastrophe and how we wrestle with it in the aftermath. I felt like there were a lot of references to Alice in Wonderland, and the imagery was inventive and evocative. I totally loved it.

It's a pretty weird movie, but the ending kind of explained it.

I really wanted to like this, but I could not get over the lack of reasoning why the couple was in that middle of nowhere to begin with. It detracted from the rest of the story and I just could not suspend my disbelief to enjoy this one.

One of the weirdest movies you can ever encounter. If you look beyond the appearances this picture is able to provide you with a creepy and realistic depiction of human sadness and grief. My rating: 8/10

Ultra-violent, surreal, Groundhog's Day: three words to describe Koko-di Koko-da. The film underwhelmed and became repetitive — I know, that's the point, but it didn't do it well like Groundhog's Day, Palm Springs, or Edge of Tomorrow. Mog (Peter Belli), the boater-hat-wearing, cane-wielding, ring-leader of the sadistic trio (+ 1 live dog, 1 dead dog) was the best part of the film. It touches on grief and trauma, but not in any way this reviewer is able to articulate. Midsommar and Another Round were both Scandinavian smashes and I was hoping this would be an addition to that echelon, but whatever message it was trying to make fell flat. It's nowhere near the mindless, gratuitous torture porn of Funny Games — a movie I loathe — but had it run thirty minutes longer, we might've gotten there. The shadow puppetry was cool, so if you enjoy shadow puppetry, this movie might be for you. Koko-di Koko-da wants to be edgy and smart when it's really just a time-loop horror, which might be exactly what you're looking for.

The more I think about this movie, the more I like it. The puppetry is gorgeous, and the folkloric characters that illustrate the metaphor at the end are particularly effective. The slow pace is no huge bargain, but after the fact, it left me with a strange mythical feeling. This movie is not completely satisfying, but strong in its defiance of following convention. It's original, that's for sure.

This was very slow for the first half and I gave up but I watched a second time and glad I did as it was quite good. Very creepy. There was really no explanation for any of the strange events but I'm not sure if it mattered.

Best film of the year!

An old-school Swedish grief-parable and pretty baleful. I'm not sure I'd recommend it; it's not as clever or emotionally moving as it thinks it is but it is grim. Couple grieving for their dead child are subjected to a cycle of weird torments by a group of surrealist fairy-tale psychopaths in a wood. It's not as horrible as 'Funny Games' or 'Antichrist' by far but it shares a similar dreary, circular ambience. Cool shadow-puppet sequence in the middle. Cw for several dead dogs.

A very unusual mixture of elements which ultimately work surprisingly-well together.

I think the critics view movies through a weird social paradigm, instead of actual entertainment. The scores on this movie are a perfect example. I know it's been slow during the pandemic but holy smokes this is bad and no you aren't hip or artsy if you think it's great.

Unsettling. Vague. Not really sure what i was watching at first but little by little became more clear. Still not enough character development and few plot tension or actual scares could not manage to bring the arty bizarre show to stronger territories that would have made it one piece of a kind movie...which in a way still is but not enough to stick with you for long.

I can very much appreciate the filmmaking craft on display here, but it just wasn't for me. Brace yourselves for the ear worm you never wanted!

This is what David Lynch's nightmares must be like -- a groundhog day of despair and depravity. There is one scene -- only one freaking scene -- that is absolutely gripping and terrifying to anybody that has had a child. And the rest is just art-for-for art's sake with little effort to connect the dots.

I've got to admit, I found some elements of this a little repetitive, which I know is the point but I was starting to wonder just how long it was going to go on for. Picked up, though, and ended well, albeit with quite a few questions unresolved. Certainly memorable!

‘Koko-Di Koko-Da' is Time Loop Horror at Its Best and Most Nightmarish

Possibly I had very high expectations, but the movie was just one of many. Although it has an interesting approach, I am not one of the people who enjoy the unknowns and elements left to free interpretation

Una lástima que KokoDi KokoDa se me estuviera vendiendo tan bien por casi un año, porque no ha conseguido estar a la altura de mis expectativas. Creo que hace cosas interesantes, sobre todo a nivel narrativo, que le dan más dimensionalidad, pero lo austera que se siente a veces y el hecho de que gran parte de la película los personajes solo están actuando de forma ilógica y estúpida me la eclipsan un poco. Tampoco le veo mucho la gracia al trío excéntrico de personajes, casi me parece una decisión edgy, porque si.

It's alright. I'd definitely see a 65% as a fitting RT score. It's rich in cinematography and atmosphere, but the story is a little bland (surprised me too, honestly). Premise is intriguing, ending is (mostly) satisfying. It may be great for you, but its more of a movie for indie-film-lovers. I say, lower expectations, and you will find an enjoyably creepy and provocative film. Or, in my case, just a well-shot time-passer of a film - that's also kinda creepy.

I'm not sure what this film was trying to be. It wasn't very scary or suspenseful, though it tried to be. It certainly had some moments that were distasteful and ridiculous. It's not really a coherent narrative. Sometimes that sort of thing is intriguing and leaves you thinking about it for hours, trying to piece together its meaning, see if you can figure out what really happened. But with this, I just felt like.. 'meh'. Not worth the effort of trying to find something to redeem the time I spent watching it.
