"This is an honest film portraying a young girl on the threshold of her own sexual identity. The film invites reflection on personal dignity, desire, and the act of taking a stand in relation to one's faith. The music adds depth to the intimate narrative and to the girl's inner process."

"This is a film made of the here and now. It is a dense, defiant, and lovingly human portrait of a broken man searching for a grip. The lead actor gives an unforgettable performance and is joined by an exceptional cast. The director's sure hands lead us forward fearlessly and with cinematic grace, along with the character, into the abyss, with great beauty all around us."
