Reception

The film has a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on seven reviews. [3]

Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote, "The tonal shifts among mystery, folklore, melodrama and satire are neither smooth nor productively rough, and the narrative core remains unclear, lost amid the surfeit of disconnected moving parts." [4]

Malik Adán of Film Threat also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "While this is surely the stuff of romcom boilerplate narratives, Virginia Minnesota prefers to wade into darker waters for the sake of more compelling, everyday drama." [5]
