What are critics saying?

The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt

While the film sometimes plays like an hour TV medical drama padded to reach feature length, Sawant achieves touching, naturalistic performances from a fine ensemble cast.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

An old-fashioned soaper that will please or not, depending on a viewer's tolerance for schmaltz.

40

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

The simplicity of the tale becomes a bit tedious.

Village Voice
