Reception

[edit | edit source]

Neil Young of Screen Daily called the film an "engrossing exercise in empathetic humanism, unhurried and uninflected".[1]

Georgia Del Don of Cineuropa wrote that the film is "far more" than a "precise account of the ambiguous and vertiginous time marking the transition from childhood to adolescence."[2]

Martin Kudlac of ScreenAnarchy wrote that despite the film being a "social allegory disguised as a coming-of-age tale imbued with the latent cringe cruelty of Todd Solondz's poetics", the film "works" as a "concentrated representation of the agony and confusion of growing up."[3]
