Peter Bradshaw Guardian Not perfect, this, but interesting. Rated: 3/5 Mar 9, 2024 Full Review 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. Mar 14, 2024 Full Review 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 Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray 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 Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International The story has an appealing simplicity, even if its real and more fantastical elements do not quite gel together.
