At times, the atmosphere of claustrophobic sexual tension is overwhelming, but there's real sadness and sensitivity here, as well as a desperately poignant performance from Morton.

Geoff Brown

RTThe Times (UK)Aug 6, 2024

Samantha Morton, all of 20, throws herself wholeheartedly into the complex part.

Kevin Thomas

In her feature debut, Adler shapes her film gracefully and elicits a scorching no-holds-barred, totally selfless portrayal from Morton.

A frank, fearless film from a director carving out her place in a strong British tradition.
