A film marked by lovely moments but which falls short of the lyrical heights to which it aspires.

Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

Yarn about a young carer who follows an elderly patient into the forest, strives for the mythic, but ambition is undercut by its conveniently underarticulated affectations.

Russell Edwards, Variety
