Reception

The film has rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[2]

Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "There’s something undeniably fearless in Lipsky’s filmmaking, which makes virtually no concessions to his audience. Still, he seems to have chosen the wrong medium to express himself, and it’s becoming all too clear that he’s not improving with practice."[3]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote, "To say that thespians live for opportunities such as this is an understatement, and Schull, whose restrained underplaying only makes the material more powerful, makes the most of it."[4]
