Leslie Felperin Guardian It’s an interesting, promising feature debut for Millar, and Walter has real star presence. Rated: 3/5 Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Sam Inglis HeyUGuys A well told coming of age story with a very good performance from Niamh Walter. Unfortunately it sometimes gets lost in themes it doesn’t properly develop. A flawed, but promising, debut. Rated: 3/5 Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Millar demonstrates a talent, here, for finding horror in everyday things and addressing the sources of life’s deep traumas.
