“It’s a thought-provoking thriller cleverly addressing moral dilemmas.”
— ALEX BILLINGTON – FIRST SHOWING
“Jonsson manages to masterfully build nail-biting suspense by means of body language and dialogue alone.”
— ROD T FAULKNER – THE 7TH MATRIX
“Brilliantly written, beautifully shot and creepy with a bit of Twilight Zone sprinkled in for good measure. It’s got a rustic feel choosing brown earth tones that are slightly muted to drive the mood of the film.”
— JOSEPH R. DAVIS
“The narrative is riveting, emotionally charged, and executed with a subtly building, anxiety-ridden, anger-filled atmosphere, leading to a convincing and markedly effective finale.”
— KIRK FERNWOOD
”The film stars Per Ragnar as the father Kjell, and Jonsson as Jocke the caregiver, both of whom provide stunning yet understated performances. It explores the dangers of even the simplest of misunderstandings and the irrational thought which stems from them, through the nuanced acting, clever dialogue and the sombre cinematography.”
—MONICA JOWETT – UK FILM REVIEW
