Reception
Vadim Rizov of Filmmaker wrote, "One of Coincidence Controls clear takeaways is that universal reverence for dolphins and whales, and how their preservation became a stand-in for caring about the environment as a whole, is a direct and uncomplicatedly laudable part of Lilly's legacy."
Clint Worthington of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote that it's "a curious work of deadpan collage that feels the closest you could come to actually experiencing Lilly's experiments in documentary form."
