Critical response
Rotten Tomatoes gives Coyote Lake an approval rating of 83%.[2]
Steve Davis of The Austin Chronicle wrote, "The exquisitely precise direction by Seligman (making an impressive debut here), the trim editing by Eric F. Martin, the gorgeous nighttime cinematography by Matthias Schubert – all contribute to an eerie otherworldliness in this beautifully executed opening sequence of Coyote Lake".[3] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The film is carried along by the strength of Mendes' emotionally complex, restrained performance that makes clear that Ester is as much victim as accomplice".[4]
