Critic Reviews

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    This spare drama about the aftermath of war goes only so far on the strength of its sincerity, carefulness and good intentions.

  • Simon Kinnear, Total Film

    The north-of-the-border setting promises fresh perspectives but local novelty can't disguise universal clichés, despite Dillahunt's memorably haunted star turn.

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    With quiet intensity, this contained drama feels like a stage play with its intimate approach and limited cast and settings. It also has a strong thematic kick that's both emotional and political, without ever being preachy.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

  • Liz Braun, Jam! Movies

    The story shapes itself into a sophisticated psychological thriller where suspense is everything. Who will deal with the outsider?
