Reception

Jessica Kiang of Variety wrote that the film is "at times more a filmmaking exercise than a fully formed film, it’s because underneath all the impressive craft there’s not a whole lot of substance. But the texture is so convincing you can almost overlook that emptiness, especially when it’s all done with a sly wink and a mordant sense of mischief." Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film is "an efficient and visually engaging, if slightly familiar, tale of modern encroachment on the natural world and the violence it can bring." Kurt Halfyard of ScreenAnarchy wrote that while the film "appears not quite up to the difficult task of tangling and untangling itself", it "still remains an admirable first feature."
