The film played at various festivals throughout 2012, including the Woods Hole Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Dramatic Feature.[3] In their review of the film, the Cape Cod Times described it as "a tale of loss, desire and rebirth, enhanced by strong performances by [Lynskey] and [Peltz]".[4]
