Media reviews
Indiewire
"While Zagar doesn?t force the material into many surprising places, it?s a fully realized tapestry, owing much to the complex, layered score by Nick Zammuto that hums through nearly every scene, and frequent cutaways to hand-drawn animation based on the scrapbook that Jonah stores under his bed at night".
The Hollywood Reporter
"Desire, darkness and death, violence and liberation all converge in images that suggest the tough path ahead, even if Jonah seems to have arrived at the biggest hurdle ? of knowing himself ? ahead of time".
The Playlist
"This is an assured, confident feature-directing debut for Zagar who shows great promise in his ability to render a confident and brilliant work of art from difficult-to-adapt source material".
The A.V. Club
"Zagar seems to lack a coherent directorial perspective on Torres? story; he mistakes vérité-style handheld and frequent close-ups (mostly captured with wide-angle lenses) for genuine intimacy and engagement".
