Deadline Hollywood’s Damon Wise described as ‘an intimate, defiantly female-fronted indie, showcasing an engaging and refreshingly vanity-free performance from Karen Gillan’.
Jason Bailey of The Playlist felt the film was ‘predictable’ in places and had familiar tropes, but described it as ‘about as well-acted and enjoyable a version of this particular thing as you’re likely to find’.
Samantha Bergeson of IndieWire gave the film a ‘D’, writing that it ‘doesn’t open up in time to blossom into something great’ and its ‘whispers of emotional depth…come too little and too late’.
Karen’s last film was 2024 American crime thriller Sleeping Dogs and she will appear in sci-fi drama The Life Of Chuck alongside Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Mark Hamill later in the year.
