Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Jan 30, 2014
Ms. Sevigny is the unsteady center of a movie that uses awkward silences, cryptic dialogue and self-consciously arty images to signify emotional limbo. Go to Full Review
Sara Stewart New York Post Jan 30, 2014
1.5/4
The dialogue is so vague, and the plot so minimal, it all feels like a rather pointless exercise. Go to Full Review
Annlee Ellingson Los Angeles Times Jan 30, 2014
Questions mount and answers are slim, distracted by a score that veers from synth to symphonic. Go to Full Review

3/5
The type of gem you trot out when you want to share something offbeat and intelligent. Go to Full Review

Visually, Blash does a excellent job portraying the character's quiet desperation, even if the symbolism sometimes verges on the obvious. Go to Full Review
Mike D'Angelo The Dissolve Feb 6, 2014
2.0/5
When the climax finally arrives, it's a deliberate damp squib. Go to Full Review

Draco S May 7, 2017 Everything that`s wrong with too many "indie" movies. Irrational, absurd behavior/choices from the characters, weird, robotic dialogue that sounds like aliens in human suits talking to each other, artsy, lingering, predictable shots of nature and the back of people`s heads, and generally pretentious. Only watched 1 hour but doubt it can get better if the rest is anything like it. Will edit once I catch it again on tv. What a waste of 2 great actresses. See more
