Reception

Robert Koehler from Variety writes "Far more adult than most American indie pics treading similar turf, Hill’s first feature (after several well-regarded shorts) reveals a writer-director-editor of considerable talent, equally strong on camera placement, pacing, language and character detail, all of it suggesting more good things to come." [2]
