Reception edit

Mike Acker of The Oregonian that the film "works for any number of reasons, but mostly it works because the emotions feel real."[1]

Anthony Ray Bench of Film Threat gave the film a score of 6/10 and wrote that while the film has an "interesting" premise, it is "squandered by an unlikable main character and a slow pace."[2]

Curtis Cook of Willamette Week wrote that "while the characters aren't always likable, their awkward misadventures are bound to get a chuckle."[3]

Megan Burbank of Portland Mercury called the film "well-paced and beautifully shot" and wrote that it "holds together as quiet little portrait of despair".[4]
