BOMB MAGAZINE, 2025
“The discomfort of being in a body, being observed, observing yourself, entropy, bodily breakdown, and objectification—I see all of that in this work.”

DIRECTORS NOTES, 2025
“A stand-out hybrid documentary that functions as both a study and a transformative ritual ... challenges cinematic voyeurism ... boundary-pushing.“

ARTISTIC TRIBE, 2025
“[ECSTASIE] works to reconsider power dynamics inherent in our role as observers, resisting voyeurism and acknowledging the camera’s proclivity to exploit a subject.”

THE GUARDIAN, 2022
“Illusory sound design transports the listener into the midst of the experience.”

FORBES MAGAZINE, 2022
“Raw, immersive and harrowing—transporting the listener into the heart of the experience.”

JEZEBEL, 2022
“Disrupting popular narratives about stalkers and their victims.”

FILMMAKER MAGAZINE, 2022
"A different sort of work, one that’s both activist as well as containing the emotional complexity of a great literary memoir.”

PILLOW VOICES, 2022
“Looking at the power of dance as a subterranean communication [that allows people to] hear music better through movement.”

RAVELIN MAGAZINE, 2020
“[Baldwin’s] first movies are gorgeous pieces of visual and kinetic art.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES, 2017
“Movement and gesture take possession of the viewer in a way that, for me at least, has never been replicated.”

INTERVIEW MAGAZINE, 2017
“[Baldwin, Troche, and Unseld] challenge the restrictions placed on 360 filmmakers, from the label of “narrative” and whether such a thing is or isn’t possible in VR, to the question of cutting scenes.”

THE INDEPENDENT, 2017
“At the forefront of storytelling.”

DANCE MAGAZINE, 2017
“The perfect vehicle for dance.”

THE CRITERION CHANNEL, 2017
“How can we articulate bodies in motion in relationship to the lens?”

THE NEW YORK TIMES, 2016
“An extraordinary and scary short film by Lily Baldwin, whose work has a visceral power similar to [David] Cronenberg’s [THE BROOD], but with an anxious female perspective.”

VICE, 2016
“Radical cinematography.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES, 2015
“The genre needs directors who are willing to look beneath the surface and to dream, as Lily Baldwin does in her adroit, wry short.”

TIMEOUT, 2015
"In this hypnotic film, dance is used as a diaphanous storytelling tool, in which the dreamy narrative is at the service of the choreography; movement wafts through."

VICE, 2015
“Baldwin uses body movement and choreography to push the narrative.”

FLUX MAGAZINE, 2012
“The Fellini-chic Sea Meadow ... demonstrate[s] the power of minimal dialogue.”
