Reception
[edit]Leslie Felperin of the Guardian gave it 2 stars, writing "Sadly, it’s more of a mud pie of contemporary thriller tropes that don’t hold together for long."[1] The Times's Kevin Maher's 2 star review was subtitled "This foolhardy film never feels like anything other than kitschy ‘let’s pretend’"[2] Anton Bitel wrote in RealCrime Magazine "Accordingly, as this hybrid film, all at once fish-out-of-water thriller and domestic tragedy, constantly switches between these two modes, it generates considerable ambiguity, even mystery from its own mismatched, dysfunctional plotting – with everything hidden in plain sight".[3]
