Reception

Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while the narrative was lacking in "structural integrity", Zollo and Duke "create a courageously personal, experimental piece, tapping into a raw emotional state not often rendered on screen with such depth and intelligence." [2]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while Duke "delivers a shattering, highly physical performance that fully conveys her character’s complex mixture of anger, depression and disorientation", she is "unable to overcome the film’s inertia and repetitiveness, its vague proceedings stretched out interminably to reach a feature-length running time". [1]
