Critical response

In December 2018, the Toronto International Film Festival named the film to its annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list. The Vancouver Film Critics Circle awarded Aguayo-Stewart as Best Actress in a Canadian Film and Jerkovic received the One to Watch Award.

Critical response to the film was positive. The Hollywood Reporter's Boyd Van Hoeij called it "a promising debut feature". And Norman Wilner from Now Toronto called Jerkovic "a gifted, intuitive storyteller who doesn't need to oversell her story's emotional undercurrents; she trusts her audience to understand what's going on simply by paying attention to her actors' faces". It scores 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
