Reception

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film's "palpable sense of place" and the "terrific" performances "compensates" for the film's "contrivances". [1]

Diane Carson of KDHX wrote that the film is "honest in its invitation to consider those involved in and affected by mental illness, knowing the ripple effects reach far and wide" and "furthers the knowledge that everyone needs more information and can be educated through a sustained commitment if they only care." [2]

John Sooja of Common Sense Media rated the film two stars out of five and wrote that while the film is "grounded" and "well-acted", the issues with the plot and the writing "hinder its emotional punch". [3]
