In his review on IndieWire, James Rocchi rated it a B− saying it is a Winter's Bone on a farm "with a sharp-eyed, almost documentary eye on the realities and everyday crimes of modern agribusiness".[4] In Variety, Bill Edelstein said that director Kimberly Levin "gets naturalistic performances from all her actors, and tells her tale with a narrative economy that, despite the leisurely pace, never lingers too long in a scene".[5]
