Robin Wood – CineAction Magazine

“There is a sequence around the film's midpoint where she (Kirsti played by Jhene Erwin) is … telling her sister… about the continuing consequences of her childhood trauma (raped by her stepfather): a series of long takes which she sustains magnificently. … what I did see was that elusive phenomenon "star quality", demonstrated in the ability to carry an extended sequence single handedly. I could imagine a film written for her and built around her performance."

Variety – Brendan Kelly

“Jhene Erwin’s performance is raw, intense and entirely believable…Erwin brings complex shadings to her portrayal of Kirsti, vividly bringing to life the contradictory sides of a woman who veers frequently from raging anger to utter emotional distress.”
