Autostraddle

This is a tight, powerful film with strong performances, nuanced writing, and cinematography that suffocates.

... A movie that handles the tools of cinema with intelligence and subtlety. A pleasant surprise amongst commercial offerings. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

La Nación (Argentina)

Valeria and her sister are, in some way, modern versions of that long-suffering character from the famous Russian novel [Tolstoi's Anna Karenina]. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

Jerusalem Post

There’s a built-in suspense to this story and Vinik allows it to unfold gracefully. The actors are a great ensemble and work well together but it was Fraifeld’s portrayal of Christina that drew me into the movie from its opening moments

Tomas Trussow

The Lonely Film Critic

Vinik’s indictment of manufactured marriages that are dehumanizingly transactional is a cutting one, and she is unsparing in her critique of the male characters in particular.

Rated: 3/5

Reel Film Reviews

...a better-than-anticipated endeavor that’s ultimately (and effectively) able to transcend its filmed-play atmosphere.

Rated: 3/4
