"In her first narrative feature, Niasari, who based the story in part on her own experiences, demonstrates an astounding control of pacing and mood."
"The film retains its overall strength by focusing on its mother-daughter leads, their enduring bond, and their efforts to carve out a bit of serenity in a chaotic world."
