Cast
Reception Alissa Simon of Variety lauded how John McIlduff's film was "executed in a talky, darkly humorous manner that recalls the impudent, poetic styles of John Michael and Martin McDonagh". Barbara Rowland of Student Film Reviews praised the "respected performances" of leads Aoife Duffin and Nigel O'Neill. Meanwhile, Riley Haas of Letterboxd had a mixed take, rating the film 3/5 stars but opining that the "characters are unlikable" and if it were an American—not Irish—film, it'd be "accompanied by a quirky score".
