It's just out in the open for her."[4] The film received positive reviews from critics, with praise directed at Davenport's performance.[5] Jude Dry of IndieWire said that Davenport "anchors the action with their instinctual performance, playing Sophie with a pointed ferocity that is clearly masking deep pain."[6]
