‘A masterful character study. A dramatic short of the highest order’

- Jonathon Natsis, FilmInk

‘Incredibly complex, disturbingly beautiful and haunts the viewer long after the final frame. Incredible stuff’

- Terry McMahon, Director ‘Charlie Cassanova’

‘A remarkably assured film - tough, smart and unsentimental without descending into cynicism’

- Travis Johnson, XPress Magazine
