Peter Debruge Variety 22h
A mix of actors of wildly different experience levels, the ensemble meshes together beautifully, reflecting the idea that none of these characters knows quite how to navigate the situation. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 22h

Lead actress Katherine Mallen Kupferer anchors this tension with remarkable restraint. Her performance is subtle but deeply affecting, portraying Minnie not as a passive victim, but as a young woman tentatively shaping her identity through loss.
