Reception

[edit | edit source]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 58% of 12 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.2/10. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 47 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.

Damon Wise of Deadline wrote, "The ending, then, is a little disappointing, since it involves a little twist that, if she really was paying so much close attention, [Goliarda] Sapienza would have seen coming. Nevertheless, the film’s central premise is refreshing."[13] Guy Lodge of Variety called the film "repetitive, tediously non-linear" and "restless, darting". He commended the performance of Matilda De Angelis, however, writing, "De Angelis is electric as the capricious, self-destructive Roberta, even if the character herself isn’t very substantively written, and the film's very pulse quickens whenever she enters the frame."[14] Lee Marshall of Screen Daily also noted the film's non-linear structure, writing that "the temporal leaps don't distract from the fact that the plot is threadbare in places".[15]
