2.5/4
MacKay's movie has a consistent visual tone of almost drowsy drabness, but that's the point: This is the world Sam will learn to see beyond and swim clear of. Go to Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star 05/14/2015
3/4
Even though the story may seem slight, as coming-of-age tales go, it packs a surprising amount of emotional power and wisdom. Go to Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew 01/30/2020
3/5
I can't emphasize this enough, Julia Sarah Stone is a find. Far cry from a Nickelodeon starlet-in-waiting, Stone has the screen presence and acting chops to carry a movie. Go to Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto 12/18/2015
4/5
The coming-of-age tale is familiar territory, but MacKay gives this one a sensual texture that feels like you're immersed in a really thoughtful short story, with a measured pace that gives us time to understand Sam's thoughts and feelings. Go to Full Review Julia Cooper National Post 05/14/2015
3/4
Lanky, wide-eyed, and impossibly fragile, [Julia Sarah Stone] doesn't much look like a hero, which is exactly why we need her. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
