Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times What may have been profound and poetic on the page feels redundant and banal on screen. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter What anchors the proceedings is the lead performance of Mylene Mackay, whose star will definitely be on the rise after this sexy, galvanizing turn. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times The character Ms. Émond and Ms. Mackay create is not likable, but is puzzling in an engrossing way. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Michael McNeely That Shelf It is an exceptional film that reads as poetry and taps into the desperation and loss we all feel at some point. Feb 21, 2019 Full Review Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com Mylene Mackay is good at suggesting the different aspects of her character, but the performance is not revelatory enough to overcome the otherwise half-baked nature of the film as a whole Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Kenneth R. Morefield 1More Film Blog It is hard to present a person (Arcan) or a subject (prostitution) as both inscrutable and meaningful Rated: 2/5 Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
