It's a pinhole portrait of life on Earth; a non-judgmental story about trying to reconcile meaning with meaningless before the well runs dry and it rains again.May 02, 2018
Mary Kay Place is marvelous in the leading role, and her screen presence is so arm and comforting, we think we know her. Jones uses that familiarity, brilliantly.April 19, 2018
A strong work and one of the peaks of this year's Tribeca slate.April 23, 2018
If the intimacy of small town existence is cherished here, there's also an ominous sense of that same life being eroded and undermined.April 23, 2018
Raw, real and quietly affecting.
