| Film ThreatBradley GibsonCash’s film is reflective and accomplished, showing the world through the eyes of a young woman challenged by a painful childhood and by the culture of her times, finding her own way through the chaos around her to a functional adult life. |
| Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweAlthough she seems primarily concerned with whether conflicting views of sexuality can be reconciled in a committed relationship, Cash dresses the issues up in so many layers of cuteness that the message practically gets smothered by the candy-colored cinematography and insistent indie-pop soundtrack. |

| User ReviewNicolette SBrilliant film and would definitely watch again. |
| User ReviewLaura MThis movie is brilliant. From the writing to the direction, and especially to the art direction that makes this story feel almost otherworldly. An indie film at it's finest, I can't wait to see where this film goes - hope it doesn't get skipped over. |
