Reception
Neil Young of Screen Daily called the film an "engrossing exercise in empathetic humanism, unhurried and uninflected". Georgia Del Don of Cineuropa wrote that the film is "far more" than a "precise account of the ambiguous and vertiginous time marking the transition from childhood to adolescence." Martin Kudlac of ScreenAnarchy wrote that despite the film being a "social allegory disguised as a coming-of-age tale imbued with the latent cringe cruelty of Todd Solondz's poetics", the film "works" as a "concentrated representation of the agony and confusion of growing up."
