The Spectator
July 26, 2018 The script is superbly restrained, as is the direction, which delicately handles extremely painful situations. Nothing is ever clumsily spelled out.

The Sun (UK)
July 26, 2018 Finneran is stoic and mesmerising in a film awash with resentment, duty and an almost comical level of cruelty - perfectly brought to life by all involved.

July 26, 2018 A scathing critique of inhumanity in the name of religion - in this case, Jehovah's Witnesses - made all the more chilling by its drab colorlessness and mute suffocation.

Irish Times
July 27, 2018 The lack of music emphasises the religion's starkness. The pared-down performances do more of the same. A disturbing, unflinching debut. One of the year's best British films.

The National (Scotland)
July 28, 2018 A quietly devastating drama spoken with a fresh, intriguing cinematic voice.

Scotsman
July 26, 2018 Respectful yet sharply critical, the film's specificity about a world rarely seen on screen is gripping, but it's the silent pain of Finneran's performance as the fissures start to appear in Ivanna's life that linger longest.

The Arts Desk

Observer (UK)
July 29, 2018 Kokotajlo presents this world from the perspective of somebody who has experienced and understands it.

Daily Mail (UK)
July 26, 2018 It is a piercingly well-observed and heartbreakingly sad drama, but above all, impressively restrained, even when the small, stressed family unit is struck by tragedy.

Times (UK)
July 26, 2018 Best of all, this isn't some seething satirical takedown of the Jehovah's Witnesses as a ridiculous and snicker-worthy denomination.
