Reception

Justin Chang of Variety described the movie as "a messy Texas stew of racial tension, personal liberation and murder-in-retrospect detective story." He praised the likable characters but criticized the "self-indulgent" first-time director's work.[2] James Greenberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it "long on passion and somewhat lacking in execution," stressing the lack of experience on the part of the producer-director-writer-actor Matthew Stanton.[3]
