"It certainly bears all the hallmarks of his previous work: great performances, quietly arresting imagery and the sort of restless and playful imagination that is a rare joy to spend time with. In a world over burdened with television series and soap operas there are too few people working in this industry who are capable of creating moments of real cinema." - Ben Blaine, Shooting People

"With some great performances from the cast, together with a sharp script, Ortu achieves a successful follow-up to his previous short, Smile"
- Andy Greenhouse, ShallowSHORTS100 Video Podcast
