Reviews:
“Veteran John Jarratt co-directed this with Kaarin Fairfax, and while they let fly at each other with copious energy, their verbal conflagration could have benefitted from fewer swear words, more jokes and a tighter running time.” Jim Schembri, 3AW
” … a nifty little black comedy bubbling and bristling with surprises and invention.” Erin Free, Filmink
“This war of words is a big, long, pointless spat and a cinematic endurance test of the worst sort – hard to take seriously and nothing to laugh at. “I could live without another slut tirade,” Fairfax says at one point, and for a brief fleeting moment, the film absolutely nails it.” Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian
