Kerr’s first feature could have used some tightening up, but it brings to light the plight of someone who living in crisis mode and approaches that relatable topic not with cynicism but hope.

...an accessible, easy watch, uniformly well-acted, and lacking in sentiment or melodrama…getting your act together is a universal theme, and the positive, realistic nature of the empathetic recovery story portrayed should find a forever home on streaming

Rated: 4/5

The characters are genuine, as each are authentically rendered and have moments of clarity and truth. Thematically, all the characters are trying to arrive at another life station, whether they realize it or not. If that isn’t family, what is? A Rapp!

Rated: 4/5

Vivian Kerr's painful, joyous drama about a headstrong woman's descent into homelessness and delusion is an authentic portrait of a sibling relationship that is loving but dysfunctional.
