Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 78% of 18 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2/10.^[8]

Nikki Baughan of Screen Daily wrote that "while the connection and chemistry between Adam and Tina is strong, and they are likeable as a pair, it’s never entirely believable. Emond initially plays with the ambiguity of the set-up – at some moments we wonder if Tina is an AI (a la Spike Jonze’s Her), at others it’s unclear whether she really exists – but soon settles into a love-against-the-odds adventure. Yet while we can understand why Adam has thrown caution to the wind in this search for some kind of happiness, Tina’s motivations are less clear. With a husband, two young children and a mundane job it is perhaps no surprise that Tina is looking for an escape but she also has a lot to lose – real-world ramifications which Emond’s script papers over with a very understanding (and possibly alcoholic) husband and lashings of joie de vivre".^[9]
