Top Critics Reviews

We've seen this unhappy scenario played out many times before, but seldom with a better eye for detail.

The film is strengthened by the two leading performances.

fresh:
A well-intentioned coming-of-age film anchored by two indelible performances but weakened by an overabundance of drama.

fresh:
An impressive first effort from Ms. Moncrieff, but the eternal Aristotelian in me finds it depressing to watch characters always walking around in moral quicksand.

Worth watching for the coming-out party of Agnes Bruckner, a relative newcomer who shows her mettle with an extraordinary performance in this very ordinary tear-jerker.
