	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[It] has a documentarylike feel, with its hand-held camera work and naturalistic performances."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Archambault’s handling of Gabrielle and Martin’s sexuality is one of the pic’s strong suits, presenting their desire with a refreshing, straightforward honesty."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"An occasionally blunt but well-acted love story."	POS
United States	Farran Smith Nehme New York Post	"Its sentiment is appealing (...) and its sincerity doesn’t cloy. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"Casting Marion-Rivard in the title role was a risk that paid off, giving the film its authenticity, also its imperfections."	POS
