Reception

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter praised Stewart's performance and wrote that while the film "doesn’t break any new ground either in terms of substance or style", it "packs a quiet punch".^[1]

Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times called the film "hushed, poetic and intimate", despite the fact that "we never get a sense of the characters’ true anguish and pain".^[2]
