Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Despite the fact that it lacks tension, is a bit too long, and has a rather unlikeable protagonist, emerges as a very interesting film, with the frustration the viewer will feel for Kanta’s self-destructive behavior carrying it from beginning to end.

Audience Member The wait for the possible redemption of the lead maintains a tangible possibility throughout. Surprising, compelling and not all together satisfying. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member You find yourself deciding whether to like or hate the main character as he has his ups and downs. A slow but good drama.
