"Despite the horrors, hardships, and the beauty within the way they are captured, the film felt too segmented and disconcertingly impotent because of it."
" It pulled itself from a Ranma ½ meets Freaky Friday-inspired generic teen romantic comedy to give itself profundity, symbolism, and a prospect for introspection."
"Rebecca Hall plunges the audience into the fathoms of insecurities, anxieties, repressions and carcinogenic social interactions that she herself is drowning in."
"This is a film of heart and compassion, as the emotional momentum is perpetuated on the actors' affective faces and the verisimilitude of their downtrodden struggles."
"This is a passionate and calculated freight train of a film that isn't perfect, and may be even a tad preachy, but is finely crafted and worth the ride."
"The "feel good" expository historical drama, that says the right thing in our hour of need, but never hoists itself up to scaleable and praiseworthy heights."
