Reception

edit

Michael Talbot-Haynes of Film Threat gave the film a score of 6.5/10 and wrote that the film has "one of the best performances by an actress showing the world what real agony looks like" despite being "soaked in controversy" and having "more triggers than a red-state gun show"[2]

Martin Unsworth of Starburst rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is a "well-made two-hander", which "makes the distasteful moments jar even more".[3]

Film critic Andy Klein called the film "nasty" and "sadistic".[4]
