Reception

Gabe Toro of IndieWire rated the film a "B+" wrote that Creed "clearly gets the appeal of a place romanticized by locals and visitors, and how the drama experienced in the city is given an added dimension by our environment" [1]

Mark Adams of Screen Daily wrote, "There are moments of low-key drama – she gets drunk at a dinner party with her boyfriend’s rather pompous friends, and she seeks out the father she hasn’t seen in three years - but the emphasis is on the intimate moments of her reevaluating her life." [2]

The St. Paul Pioneer Press wrote that while "there are moments when characters verge on caricatures", Creed and Grantham "have managed to create something weighty with a small budget and push the cancer narrative in a new and worthy direction." [3]
