A woman's past catches up with her when her ex-lover shows up with the 6-year-old son she barely knows.

Leslie Felperin

Hollywood Reporter

Squint your eyes and it's almost like watching a Nicolas Winding Refn film but without the violence or black humor.

indieWire

This is lean, muscular filmmaking that often manages to be sensual and gruff in the span of a single scene.

Rated: B+

Hammer to Nail

And though there be no precious gemstones lying in wait for the movie's central characters, at least we, the audience, have this particular Pearl to cherish.

Shadows on the Wall

As a story of a lost woman reconnecting with herself and her child, this is surprisingly moving even if it's only sporadically involving.

Rated: 3.5/5
