[5] In a review rated four and a half stars out of five, Stuff.co.nz wrote: "Bellbird is a sweet, poignant, achingly well written and quite beautiful film.

"[4] Variety hailed it as "a fondly bittersweet tribute to the rural Northland" with "some astute, understated writing and warm, witty supporting turns".

[2] In a four out of five star review, The New Zealand Herald stated: "Bellbird is a joy to watch – a warm, humorous, heartfelt film filled with loss, love and hope that had me laughing out loud one moment, and crying the next.

And while House, newcomer Retimana and Tamarapa have livelier, more comic parts, this is a film about empathy and balance in every respect, awarding its most amusing, laugh-out-loud moment belongs to its quietest character.
