Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
You have your basic family psychodrama, except there's no real heat either downstairs or up.
– Tom Long,

fresh:
Standout Olivia Harris and Parker are heart-wrenching as the vitriolic mother and neglected teen daughter.

fresh:
Modest in scale, it's the kind of American independent film that brings some honor to that shopworn descriptor.
– Chris Vognar,

rotten:
The film uses the upper-middle-class setting effectively, even as it resorts to heavy-handed symbolism and melodrama in its dour, mostly unforgiving portrait of parental dysfunction.

fresh:
A detailed, and depressing portrait of grim, forced independence. Lightened only by the sense that if these kids are learning anything, it is how to survive.
