On the run from a marriage in crisis, former war photographer Echo goes looking for her one-time lover and comrade-in-arms, who has retired to obscurity in deepest West Wales. Discovering he has taken his own life, she falls into a passionate love affair with his son, strewing chaos among the small community as she stirs up past betrayals.

| Total FilmAndrew LowryThe low budget shows in some variable acting (Balibar is great, though) and there is some clumsy dialogue, but writer/director Gareth Jones does deserve some credit for ambition. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirThe problem is that most of the high drama takes place secondhand on grainy war video and the domestic story is rather flat. |
| Little White LiesSophie Monks KaufmanHammy dialogue mars this earnest rural melodrama of a woman fleeing from war. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonPretensions abound in this uninvolving slice of artsy, low-budget British melodrama. |
