Media reviews
Vulture
Dano gives his actors space so that the rhythms are their own, and they hold us through the tough final scenes and bittersweet ending. This is a superb film.
Indiewire
Dano crafts an unsparing portrait that?s harsh and humane in equal measure.
The Hollywood Reporter
The script dares to go deep and confront what is going on in the hearts and minds of all three family members, but it does so articulately and without hysteria.
Variety
Dano, it?s immediately clear, is a natural-born filmmaker, with an eye for elegant spare compositions that refrain from being too showy; they rarely get in the way of the story he?s telling. The tale itself is resonant and absorbing, though in a highly deliberate way.
The Playlist
The film is easy to admire, but lacks the kinds of scenes necessary to truly make a emotional connection.
The Guardian
It is a quiet, subtle story and, as is so often the case when an actor takes their first trip behind the camera, a showcase for terrific performances.
