Reaction

Reviewer Dave Sindelar gives the film a positive review: "It's not perfect; it's a little too long, so you end up figuring some of the final revelations before you should, and it gets a little repetitive at times, but the strong acting and some memorable images make it worth the investment."

The film is also praised as a "Murky psychological thriller with resonant settings and an emotive Rózsa score.
