★★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

"What stands out is the way that Fastvold's film renders the furtive, the inexpressible, the typically-repressed in primary color. The ties grow between Abigail and Tallie feel unencumbered, afloat with a sense of joyous implausibility."
★★★★ K. Austin Collins, Rolling Stone. 

"A love story of deep and delicate feeling if not strict originality."
★★★★ Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
