Reception
Rob Marvin of The Daily Orange gave the film a score of 4/5 and wrote that it "captures the devastating ripple effects of economic hardship with unflinching realism, a bold script and several intensely emotional performances from its young lead actors."
Phil Hall of Film Threat wrote that while the "surplus of foul language" and the "heavily saturated" cinematography "tend to distract from the genuine emotional grit", the film "scores as an honest and often disturbing portrait of contemporary working class life, and it certainly deserves to be seen."
Kristina Bravo of LA Weekly wrote that Nistico "has created a story with convincing naturalism, giving it universal appeal."
Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Nistico's "clichéd, sledgehammer dialogue alone is enough to shut this one down."
