Hodnocení a recenze

I did enjoy it, but it isn't a conventional drama that ties everything up nicely by the end. The end leaves you wondering what will happen next to the main characters. Some have said the story is slow moving, which is true, but it still kept me interested. I found the film thought provoking, and emotional at times. Frustrated with the destructive behaviour of damaged or flawed individuals at others. Sad at the tragic results for one of the innocents. Even though there is a mystery in the past, I didn't find there to be much suspense, more curiosity, which worked well. Overall It was worth the rental fee and my time so I'm giving it 4 stars.

Very predictable storyline- no depth. A waste of an hour and a half. Acting good though. My husband fell asleep in first 20 mins and didn't understand anything.

Outstanding movie, well written, acted , filmed and directed. Odessa Young a real stand out, look forward to seeing more from her. Filmed in the Snowy region this movie has a nice little twist.
