The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young

The single location and emphasis on dialogue gives the film the feeling of filmed theater. Pacing can be slow and it is only at the end that an exciting use of music helps the film reach an artificial climax of sorts.

Variety by Guy Lodge

Gitai’s latest is a murky, largely po-faced affair, in which no character’s story urgently distinguishes itself from, or even within, a general morass of discontent.

Screen Daily by Wendy Ide

Theatrical, both in its single-location setting and its tone, the film manages to be simultaneously laboured but also oddly opaque.
