Reception
John Defore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while the script is "uneven", the film is "open-ended enough to acknowledge that the remedies for unacknowledged prejudice are neither easy nor clearly identified."
Bobby LePire of Film Threat gave the film a score of 10/10 and wrote that the "acting is stellar, the writing is honest, and what it says about race, perception, and your true self is sincere."
Carlos Aguilar of the Los Angeles Times called the film a "mostly hackneyed lesson on racial biases desperately stumbling to appear provocative."
