Critic Reviews:
- " Never has a film about two losers and the platonic love they have for each other felt more moving or more engaging. Simply wonderful. " – Linda Marric (The Jewish Chronicle)
- " It is touching, tender, original, entrancing, definitely the best cow film of the year. Plus it's also a quietly masterful thriller where a clafoutis (blueberry) will have you on the edge of your seat. " – Deborah Ross (The Spectator)
- " Reichardt works in delicate movements as a storyteller. Magaro and Lee's wonderful chemistry keeps perfectly in step with the filmmaker. " – Tara Brady (Irish Times)
