| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenA compelling bit of family drama that packs a corrosive punch. |
| We Got This CoveredAlexander LoweIt's a honest and heartfelt look at the lines that society draws and the consequences of crossing them. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldAustralian actress Adelaide Clemens shines in Justin Lerner's nicely paced indie drama/thriller. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis arresting seriocomedy deftly walks a tightrope between droll and tense, over a gaping pit of crazy. |
| Chicago ReaderLeah PickettWriter-director Justin Lerner and cowriter Katharine O'Brien use silence as much as careful dialogue to spin a hypnotic narrative from difficult subject matter. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiThere's very little to even be passionate about in this film that was, ostensibly, all about passion. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWinds up a thoughtful puzzle of a movie that doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny, a slice of Southern Gothic displaced into rural, redneck New York that loses something in the geographic translation. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenLerner alternates between well-observed character detail and clunky mystery-solving developments. |
| User ReviewProspectPatI found this movie to be incredibly engrossing. I created a profile just to rate this movie because I wanted to share my experience. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, emotionally. There were moments when I found myself truly holding my breath. I found Adelaide Clemens role to be incredibly believable. This is one of those movies that I just sat there and thought as the end credits rolled. Great story line and acting culminated in a very authentic experience for me. Its the next day and this movie is still in my head. I cant remember the last time a movie has challenged the way I view something to this extent. |
