Critic Reviews:

• " A microcosmic microscopic examination of introspection…a slow, methodical, atmospheric burn that celebrates the gravitas of performances from the likes of Jeremy Irvine and Noah Wyle. " – Debbie Lynn Elias

• " The film illustrates how the most powerful and welcome stabilizing forces in human life – history, family, geography – can turn so easily into deadly traps. " – Tirdad Derakhshani

• " Mature coming-of-age adaptation has violence, drugs. " – Sandie Angulo Chen
