“Blyth delivers a raw performance brimming with internal struggles as Lucas, capturing both his fragility and his violent bursts of denial. On the flipside, Tovey has been perfectly cast as Andrew, embodying a man torn between family and forbidden desires. Every time the two of them share the screen together, there’s a red hot energy awakened within Lucas.” - Josh at the Movies (2025 Review)
