6.5 / 10 – IMDB

“There’s such intelligence and subtlety in Mensah’s script and performance as she weaves in her ideas and frustrations, and yet the film is never “about” these things – it’s a funny and emotionally satisfying comedy.”

“A story of grief and family healing is nothing new, but everything here is fresh – partly because this world feels so entirely authentic.”
