===Critical response===
The Guardian Adrian Horton termed it "a moving and delicate adaptation" that "avoid[ed] the many cliches of the cinematic memoir adaptation", and took particular note of "Ronan's tremendous performance". David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Fingscheidt’s third narrative feature continues her visceral explorations of the scarred female psyche" and added that Ronan "puts herself through the physical and emotional wringer" in an "emotionally charged performance".
