REVIEWS:

"Uniquely realized and decadently shot, this spiraling descent into obsession and possession marks a truly unique micro-feature that fiercely waves its queer flag."
— SOHO HORROR FILM FEST

"A love story, but with strong elements of fantasy and even horror, and permeated by symbolism [...] a solid directorial effort gives the film the necessary coherence, helped by strong cinematography. And Angela Riccetti's performance makes her character's oddness and insecurities palpable. [...] She and Michaela Petro have the right weird chemistry to make the story work."
— MIKE HABERFELNER, R.M.T.

"Strange. Long. Well done."
— WORLDFEST HOUSTON
