Reception

edit

Shelagh Rowan-Legg of ScreenAnarchy wrote that "By recounting these stories of the private and public politics, the emotional and the professional, Kallas asks her audience to understand and question how easily we think we can know what happened in any terrible accident."[3]

Bill Arceneaux of Film Threat gave the film a score of 3 out of 5 wrote that Kallas is "completely capable of guiding with a strong editorial hand, the improv-heavy cast to its emotionally resonant and truly tense moments."[1]

The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a year's worth of soap opera, condensed to 130 minutes."[2]
