Recommandations

The New York Times
For some, its atmosphere and intriguing performances will prove worthy of the outing. - 50
Village Voice
A suitably haunted Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje can’t reconcile Babs’s impulsive actions with the character’s implied moral core. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Della Valle’s screenplay features the sort of artificial-sounding, hard-boiled dialogue uttered by characters who know they’re in a movie, and it’s woefully thin on storytelling coherence. Still, Akinnuoye-Agbaje looks great, and suitably haunted, walking on deserted beaches clad in a trench coat, and his co-stars prove equally compelling. - 50
RogerEbert.com
A terribly uneven narrative that doesn’t especially work as drama or noir and which manages to waste a pretty good cast in the bargain. - 30
Variety
This soggy stab at neo-noir finds Italian-born writer-director Emanuele Della Valle out of her element in a pretentious meller set on the Jersey shore. - 20
Los Angeles Times
There are occasionally atmospheric shots of depopulated boardwalks and streets, but the strain to give the visuals meaning becomes its own clue in the worst crime committed here: the killing of good storytelling.
