	Media	Author	Review
		Andrew Barker Variety	"Gorgeously shot, and helmed with a sense of daring and verve... (...) this is a debut of obvious promise, although its story never quite rises to the level of its craft."
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A movie that spirals into nonsense."
		Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times	"Her artistry announces a cinematic talent. It also compounds the disappointment when her screenplay doesn’t quite hold together."
		Ashley Moreno Austin Chronicle	"You could become enthralled with the stories the characters tell each other. Or you could meditate on what happened to her older brother (...) The film succeeds at all of it, making it seem effortless."
		Alan Scherstuhl LA Weekly	"Hamilton crosses farmer’s-revenge melodrama with coming-of-age reveries and found-a-genie fairy tale, balancing expressive location photography with her cast’s low-key naturalism."
