| The ListTony McKibbinAlex Barrett's feature debut gets caught between placing itself within the context of bigger questions of the meaning of life with the smaller demands of looking for a job after graduating. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonWriter/director Barrett delivers a promising debut that pitches four believable characters into the euphoria and dismay of post-uni life. |

| Total FilmCarmen GrayPretensions toward Scandinavian arthouse territory (one character reads existential philosophy and is tormented by visions of St Francis) sit awkwardly. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyThoughtful, affable, unfashionably angsty shoestring debut about young Londoners figuring stuff out in their post-college years. |

| User ReviewWS WThere seem to be points potential to be addressed with, the lazy set-up plus amateurish production & delivery ruined it all however. |
