RTSydney Morning HeraldNov 20, 2019

The tone of the film is also unexpectedly lyrical -- like a fairytale, albeit grimmer than Grimm. Unrelieved horror and violence can be enervating, but this film has the benefit of truth, and a message of survival.

[A] provocative if slightly plodding movie...

Dishearteningly, Enitan's transition from lost soul to a scholar and now an artist gets shoved into the final minutes left over after all the bleakness. Akinnuoye-Agbaje's admirable life story gets reduced to its most sensational chapter.

RTCommon Sense MediaNov 3, 2021

A grimly interesting story that is sadly reduced to a cliched, tedious movie.
