Reception

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while film occasionally feels "overly manipulative", it "proves very moving at times", the storyline "refreshingly avoids going in predictable directions", the characterisations "become subtler and more nuanced", and the performances of Vander Broek, Brumlow and Artzberger are "first-rate". [1]

Kimber Myers of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while the film has "good intentions", it "can’t compensate for characters that are often unlikable and unbelievable." [2]
