press quotes
“Sensitively handled first feature”
“Perceptive in its examination of a child’s complicated journey”
“Brings real emotional credibility to the story”
“Where Reymann’s personal connection with the material is most evident is in the unsensational approach to the everyday issues and misunderstandings thrown up when a loved one decides to transition.”
“A film which acknowledges that children can love a parent and respect their decision, while still suffering from the fallout of that choice.”
