Reception

Andrew Stover of Film Threat gave the film a score of 8/10 and called it "thoughtfully written and beautifully shot", as well as "singular and memorable", despite suffering from some "pacing issues".[3]

Cassandra Clarke of Comic Book Resources called the film "thrilling to watch" and wrote that the script "really pushes its core cast to embody all the tensions that come with a relationship built on lies."[4]

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists called the film "lithe" and "powerful", and wrote that it "uses its slender production context to great effect, granting each of the three central players enormous scope to flesh out their characters."[5]
