Guy Lodge Variety Jul 2, 2018
Senez's unassuming but deeply humane film finds no sentimental solutions or homilies to guide its characters through - merely the assurance that even one bad day isn't quite like the next. Go to Full Review
Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter May 14, 2018
This is another solid work from Senez, even if the film never quite packs the same punch as his knockout debut did. Go to Full Review

Ron P Feb 17, 2019 I love how Senez makes everything look so natural by having the actors improvise their lines (which is pretty visible), but I also feel that this is a very simple drama that doesn't fully explore the possibilities of its premise and ends up seeming more detached than it should.
