Cast

Reception

James Croot of the Press gave it 3 stars and says it is "an uneven, but quirky and engaging, romance." He adds "Not exactly magic, but by no means the worst show in town."[5] In Film Threat Georgia Menides wrote "Well acted, darkly lit, and gorgeously shot, the dark undertones of this story seem to ooze off the screen. " She finishes "you will be reminded of exactly why you love independent cinema."[6]
