Reception

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called the film an "evocatively shot and persuasively acted character study", as well as a "solid calling card" for Kreuser, Schuch and Benda.[1]

Andrew Emerson of Film Threat gave the film a score of 6.5/10 and wrote that while Kreuser "stints on character development", Schuch and Benda are "dedicated and mesmerizing", and can "pack worlds of emotional nuance into something as simple as a stare or a grimace".[2]
