	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"A delicate film about immigrant communities and the struggle to overcome past traumas, told with feeling and compassion. But with anything this fragile, it doesn't take much for it to break"	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	the storytelling is often clumsy, the characterizations thin (...) It ticks nearly every box in the checklist of films you wish you could like more than you actually do"	NEG
