Critic Reviews
-
David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]
A slow-burning but ultimately devastating look at revenge gone awry, with Press conveying a subtle mix of bolshiness and fragility.
-
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
It's good to see Natalie Press - so good in My Summer of Love - back on the screen, but this is a flimsy film.
-
Trevor Johnston, Radio Times
An intriguing misfire.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
Directors Brek Taylor and Elizabeth Mitchell can't quite manage the fantastical imaginings of the two would-be lovers without creating a fey tone that destroys their realism.
-
Andrew Lowry, Total Film
The quasi-fairytale atmosphere is adeptly handled, and Kathy Li's cinematography imbues proceedings with a chilly beauty.
