"Brimming with the nervous energy of its protagonist, Kahane's remarkably self-assured feature film debut is at times raw, funny, gut-wrenching, sad, yet ultimately hopeful - an absolute stunner that peeks behind the curtain into an often bleak, yet altogether human existence of a young man looking for his place in the world."
- CALGARY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
