Reception

Alan Ng of Film Threat gave the film a score of 8/10, praising the performances of Hewson, Freeman, Ryan and Menuez as well as the film's portrayal of Denny and Ryan's relationship, and called it "utterly captivating".[3]

The Curb called the film a "difficult watch for a number of reasons", but a "valuable and ultimately hopeful one."[4]

Chris Bright of FilmInk wrote that while the film "adheres to many Hollywood romantic cliches", and "a lot of the sub-characters fall to the wayside quickly", the film's story is "unique" and O'Donnell is "certainly breaking new ground".[5]
