Phil Hoad, Guardian [UK]
Cardellini holds the restless centre of Liza Johnson's patient, precise drama, which brims with quiet disaffection.

Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph
A debut of sober distinction, carried by the seriously good Linda Cardellini as a US Army supply worker whose readjustment to Rust Belt domesticity is touch and go.

James Mottram, Total Film
This is Cardellini's film, and she dominates with a terrific, tough-minded turn.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
