"Patrick Kennelly is an artist to watch...an interesting sensory experiment reminiscent in some ways of the work of Cattet / Forzani." - indie-eye REC
"one of the best videos of recent times" - HRUPmag
"Thanks to the brilliant Patrick Kennelly, clipping. now have a video that matches the brutal honesty found on 'Blood & Body'. The director has taken the track's title and pushed it to the extreme - leaving us with uncomfortable blasts of nudity, drills and disturbing reds. It's pretty intense. " - The 405
"weird and greasy and delightful in a consenting snuff just like grandma taught me way except all the bodies in frame probably didn’t make a 70s payday but, whatever. Art is cheap and smut is free and exceptionally paired with the wild dungeon lust of LA’s new avant hop wunderkinds...." - Pinpoint Music
"literal and abstract...an aesthetic similar to Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers...one sweaty malviaje (ie. bad trip)." - VICE Noisey Mexico
"Patrick Kenelly directs the dark and very intense music video for "Body & Blood" from left-field hip hop artist clipping. The split screen styled visual features a number of physically fit nude performers in various states of distress, strain, or discomfort. Drug use, sexual fetishes, and torture are also implied and contribute to the visual’s crude, raw, and unforgettably bold presentation." - Fringe Music Fix
