Critic Reviews

• Dave Calhoun, Time Out

  Grief and a messy shared history hang in the air like a river mist that won't clear, and the two lead stars make it worthwhile.

• Jason Solomons, Observer [UK]

  I liked this modest film, its unusual setting, its new-folk music (by Troubadour Rose) and its conscious echoes of A Streetcar Named Desire.

• Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

  The film's visual assets are clearer than its batty storytelling.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  The movie isn't perfect and arguably doesn't quite come together at the end, but it works as an intense and bizarre psychological drama, and the Kent landscape is gorgeously evoked.

• Jessica Lambert, Little White Lies

  Beautifully shot and mostly well executed. Lea and her cast are worth looking out for.

• Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

  Aside from the first-rate cinematography and editing, it's is so disappointingly arch that we struggle to believe anything, even as it touches on important themes.

• Shaun Munro, What Culture

  What begins as a tender romance soon enough devolves into overwrought melodrama.

• David Parkinson, Empire Magazine

  Tennessee Williams might struggle with the idea of inspiring this project.

• Neil Smith, Total Film

  Its simplicity is both effective and deceptive-a testament to the script's intelligence and to the actors' beguiling (if slightly histrionic) performances.
