- 75Film ThreatSabina Dana PlasseFilm ThreatSabina Dana PlasseWhile a bit disjointed, the film does offer hidden beauty in a world of seemingly discontent and boredom.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThe Hollywood ReporterJon FroschWriter-director Tyler Riggs’ feature debut has a ripe, palpable sense of place and a pair of magnetic leads in Nisalda Gonzalez and Matthew Leone as the young lovers. All that promise and potential make the film’s eventual surrender to narrative cliché and thematic overreach all the more frustrating.
- 60Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonThe drama’s rich atmospherics vividly embody the melancholy mindset of its characters, although it does comes at a price, especially as the plotting grows increasingly convoluted near the finale.
- 42The PlaylistAndrew BundyThe PlaylistAndrew BundySlow and stagnant despite the ongoing swirl and fleeting natural style, Riggs film ignores any firm story promise in favor of establishing almost solely character and circumstance, resulting in a sincere lack of basic plot progression, eventually leading to an unbelievably unsatisfying pay-off that made this writer throw his hands up in rage (ironically enough).
