What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis quiet drama about a grieving teen connecting with an outcast mostly works, thanks to its strong performances and beautiful look, though it's not for everyone. Mia Barrett carries the film as River, with her and William McKenna's Marcus getting praise for their believable bond. The story of processing grief is familiar to some, and a vocal few found its deliberate pacing too slow, but the visuals are gorgeous and the acting is universally called out as excellent.
