The Hollywood Reporter by

Wajeman is particularly skillful at obscuring the lines between right and wrong, setting his story in a a dog-eat-dog world whose moral compass is slightly askew.

Time Out by David Fear

There’s no sense of what Wajeman is after here. A character piece should have some sense of a character’s who, what and why, right?
