“An arresting film narrative and  a provocative stand-alone soundtrack. Moments of beauty are many." Textura

“Delicate and very effecting. A comparison would be the spoken elements of Swans and lyrically it shares much with the film noir cool of Enablers." Nine Hertz

“Shot in stark black and white and imbued with a mesmerising dreamlike fragility, the film’s look brings to mind some of the great Expressionist movies of 1930s Germany as well as Tarkovsky’s Stalker and the work of modern masters such as Béla Tarr”. Decoder Magazine

“Elegant, harrowing, and consistently captivating." A Closer Listen

“Deeply evocative and dangerously sensual.” Fluid Radio
