"(The) sparse dramatic elements here feel more suited to a short film."

"The films still hits some lovely notes of grace and poignance that rise above the script’s manipulative nature."

"No feeling... goes unfelt; every element of its filmmaking taps into the heart."

"Finds inspiration where it can as it works through its inevitable beats."

"The thing I love about this film is the empty spaces where no one's talking."

"An example of strengths outnumbering flaws."
