Cath Clarke

Guardian

The movie is grounded by a rock solid performance from the film’s co-writer Luke McQuillan.

Rated: 3/5

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

The ending is sufficiently convincing that it proves easy enough to forgive earlier clunks and creaks. An earthy reminder of easily ignored realities. A tribute to the independent spirit.

Rated: 3.5/5

Screen International

McQuillan is its sturdiest asset, grounding an increasingly complex plot with a centred performance as Danny.

Everything's Interesting

[Luke McQuillan] is able to hold the two sides of the film together through sheer force of will.

Cinemalogue

Even if it wallows in genre tropes when transitioning into a more straightforward revenge thriller, McQuillan generates hard-earned sympathy in an evocative glimpse into life on Ireland’s socioeconomic margins.
