The Guardian by Cath Clarke

This is a gentle-going watch, understated – underpowered even – and sometimes a little drowsy. Still, it has real sensitivity and insight into the transition to adulthood, as gradually it dawns on Nang that his parents don’t have all the answers.

Slant Magazine by Derek Smith

The film’s depiction of life impacted by urban transformation conjures a palpable aura of entrapment and helplessness.

Variety by Jessica Kiang

Even just the rooftop of this vast, scabbed Phnom Penh apartment complex seems to have a thousand stories to tell — it’s perhaps little wonder that Neang’s melancholic, perplexed, slightly ponderous feature debut gets a little lost navigating them.

Screen Daily by Nikki Baughan

While the film is contemplative, intimate and visually arresting, its deliberately slow pace lessens its dramatic impact.
