Reception

The film received mostly positive reviews from critics with praise for its black and white cinematography, narrative and direction. In his review in Variety , Guy Lodge said that "fine performances by Charlie Plummer and Jeb Berrier anchor Jeff Rutherford's modest but refined debut feature about estranged men bound by malaise." [5] Matthew Joseph Jenner of the International Cinephile Society wrote that the film was "a profound meditation on what it means to be a man, whether it be reflecting on the past, acknowledging the present, or anticipating the future."
