Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A well-crafted, deliberately uncomfortable first feature from Canadian-born writer-director Mark Raso.
Raso and his actors sensitively handle a topic that could be toxic in the wrong hands; they're all worth watching now and in the future.
A flighty Peter Pan meets his grounded Wendy in Copenhagen, Mark Raso's tender romance about the sliding scale of maturity.
[Director Raso] gets a pitch-perfect performance from Danish up-and-comer Hansen, who greatly impresses with her unaffected spontaneity.
