Its absurdist tact won't be for everybody, but there is satisfaction in the nuanced, often-pleasing performances from Rudd and Hirsch as they slowly reveal their characters to both the audience and each other. These two grow on you.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

It's an intimate two-hander with lots of dialogue, humour and poignant revelations, set against a backdrop of rugged woodland beauty.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

[A] gently existentialist buddy movie.
Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times

The performances and ghostly, melancholic atmosphere make it satisfying twist on the male buddy film.
