“A beautifully scripted story and journey that will change the way you look at people...”
-WYCHERLEY NETWORK
"Cassidy perfectly captures the frustration of a woman all too aware of her powerlessness... Jones has repeatedly proven himself one of Ireland's most intriguing directors. His work is challenging and unapologetically provocative; words that also apply to his latest heroine in this exploration of women, patriarchy and power..."
-HOT PRESS
"Vastly affecting as Jones delves into the mundane psyche of a young wounded woman searching yet never finding that permission to embrace idyllic womanhood... Cassidy is absolutely riveting as the dejected Nola..."
-FRANK OCHIENG, THE CRITICAL CRITICS
“The clones are a clever metaphor used by Jones, that represent the type of male Nola not only attracts but is also drawn to… A beautiful little tale that sees a young woman struggling with her gender and with the people around her… Both actors give fantastic performances, especially Caoimhe Cassidy...”
-AXELLERATED REVIEWS
"Love this... Booya Indie filmmakers!"
-PAM GRIER, JACKIE BROWN
"Nola is a revolutionary female character... I hung on to every line in this film, anticipating each reaction. As a female myself, I rebelled from a young age against similar values growing up in a traditional Central American family that to this day believes in the importance of the male figurehead. In fact, I found this completely to be an accurate representation of what it is to be a woman in such situations..."
-HEREFORD CITY CENTRIC
"I’ve been modified by Nola and the Clones... Caoimhe Cassidy plays the part of Nola incredibly well, to the point where you truly believe that you are out on the streets with her... Joseph Lydon does an incredible job playing the nameless clones... A film that continues to work its magic on me as a young woman, long after the closing credits..."
-THE FILM JUNKIE
"Normally I find films like this hamfisted in their delivery of the point they are trying to get across but Writer/Director Graham Jones does it with a gentle touch that makes you feel deeply connected to the character of Nola and it stops and makes you think about how to treat other people. This is helped in a large way by the outstanding acting by Caoimhe Cassidy. She delivers her lines with a professionalism I have rarely found in an independent film and her soulful looks and facial expressions make you believe this character could be a real person living on the street. The other major standout of course is the Clones themselves all played by Joseph Lydon. Lydon’s preference was equally believable in each of his incarnations from the bored cheating husband to the exceedingly creepy final gentleman who hires Nola for a good time."
-FILM FERVOR
"A compassionate, quietly angry film, from a film maker and two players worth watching for further work..."
-THE MOVIE WAFFLER
“A very interesting film that leaves you wanting to know more about Nola and her life… Jones was very successful in telling a story that does not often reach the public sphere…Cassidy and Lydon are brilliant in their roles…”
-BRUISED KNUCKLES
“One truly affecting, deeply character-centered, in-your-face, tantalizing, yet oddly cheeky study of the human condition… Cassidy invokes a complete sense of wonderment… Lydon navigates through these identities with an ease that also belies how challenging it had to have been...”
-ONEFILMFAN.COM
“While the film has a feminist footprint, it is more about personal discovery than social message. It’s main character is homeless, but the film is also not about homelessness. What we find is a wonderful portrayal by the film’s main actress (Caoimhe Cassidy)...”
-THE MOVIE BUFF
“Thought provoking Irish film… It winds its way like an Irish country road…”
-LZ LARK
“It’s movies like this that remind us that film doesn’t have to just be an escape - when we return to our own world after the credits roll, we return transformed.”
