Reception
Dennis Harvey, writing for Variety said that the "consistently intriguing effort at times feels uncertain how to balance its emphasis on two central protags." On IndieWire, Gabe Toro gave it a score of B+, writing that "the film doesn’t resonate as sharply as it should (...) with an ending that will likely haunt most moviegoers long after the credits have rolled."
