The film premiered February 24, 2024 at Boomtown Film and Music Festival [2] and released on video on demand on December 17th. [3]
Film critic Michael Knox-Smith gave it 4.5 out of 5, and said it "loses a half star due to not everyone convincing in their roles and because of what appeared to be a couple of plot holes." [4] Voices From The Balcony scored it 4 out of 5 saying it is "quirky and well acted" like Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea, but "it may lose some of its charm in the final act as the plot becomes more serious and predictable." [5]
Donald Harrison at San Diego Jewish World complemented the cinematography and said it has "the shock of finding an oddball drifter hanging out in the house and then a dead body, along with absurd drug-induced dark humor." [1] Film Fugitives complemented the cast, calling it "a really enjoyable whodunit, especially if you are watching it during the wedding season." [6] Film Focus Online said with a "strong pace, great acting, and an engaging story, it’s a must-see for murder mystery fans." [7]
Movie Reviews 101 scored it 2 out of 5, saying it "fails to deliver a strong enough mystery." [8] Roger Moore at Movie Nation scored it 1 out of 4, calling it "lifeless and witless." [9]
The film won 1st place for Narrative Feature at Boomtown Film and Music Festival. [10]
