Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) Jan 12, 2021
This is a drama with a capital D... Every sistah I know is going to love this movie. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times Jan 12, 2021
2.5/4
Bass' script is overly ambitious (perhaps because we're so starved for these kinds of stories), biting off more than one indie debut can, or should, chew. Go to Full Review
Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Jan 11, 2021
1.5/4

Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Jan 13, 2021
4/5

Stephen Silver Splice Today Jan 12, 2021
3/5

Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Jan 11, 2021
