Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
A deeply respectful, yet upsettingly incendiary offering, Sami Blood is sure to make an impact when it lands. A very promising debut.

One Room With A View
3 stars out of 4 -- The film’s success comes from how Kernell’s skills as a director match the ambitions of her script.
RogerEbert.com
SAMI BLOOD relies so much on the expressive face of its lead actress, the powerful newcomer Lene Cecilia Sparrok, that at times it might as well be wordless.
New York Times
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.

Village Voice
Rating: 3.5/4 --
"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.

Washington Post
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.

Cinemacy
An eloquent coming-of-age drama set in 1930s Sweden that revolves around a spellbinding performance by young Lene Cecilia Sparrok.

Product Description:
A 14-year-old girl (Lene Cecilia Sparrok) belonging to the Sami people, a Scandinavian ethnic minority, is subjected to racism and eugenic scrutiny in the 1930s when she is removed from her family and sent to a state-run school that aims to reeducate her into Swedish culture. She must soon choose between new academic opportunities or staying true to her cultural identity, all while weathering the storms of adolescence.
