Not perfect, this, but interesting.

Elena Lazic

Cineuropa

While we can salute the ambition behind the film’s bold concept, it is a shame to see an intriguing idea so muddled in the telling.

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

As the film’s themes darken, so do the initially bright landscapes, and the colours of Evie’s clothes fade. This creates something of a sense that the characters are slipping backwards into a troubled past.

Rated: 4.5/5

The Upcoming

By mixing a supernatural element with a more mature take on the coming-of-age genre, Cohen has crafted a truly remarkable feature carried by its talented young stars.

Rated: 4/5

The story has an appealing simplicity, even if its real and more fantastical elements do not quite gel together.
