Picked #1 indie film by LET US NERD blog and filmmaker, Gabe Rodriguez:
"This is a meditative, melancholic film with many silences. Two women meet and share a connection over a pack of cigarettes. Through narration, one tells us something, but the reality we see suggests things aren’t what they appear. We see their boyfriends, we sense the conflict…but we’re not told anything more than we need to. This could so easily have been a film about domestic drama, and instead it becomes about a moment between people. A moment that can’t be captured in words. The music and sound design are also great. But mostly I love the film’s subtleties, and one of my favorite last lines to a film ever"
