Leslie Felperin Guardian The set-up teeters on the edge of cliche, but Potente and the fine cast keep it from toppling over by restraining the emotional torque of the material. Rated: 3/5 Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Carlos Aguilar TheWrap Though Marvin's particular brand of brokenness, one without violent episodes or overly dramatic lamentations, makes him enthralling to watch, the beats of the story are plagued with formulaic rot. Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International The lack of soapy histrionics serves the film well - this is a story told quietly, calmly and with dignity... Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue This bittersweet drama of redemption and reconciliation feels more familiar than fresh.

Rated: 8/10 Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Potente may well be genuinely affected by the terrible social ills she sees in the US, but she doesn't make sense of them in a useful way.
