- Peter Keough, The Boston Globe

" Intrigues with its doc-style observation of the daily routines, sudden stresses and eccentric rituals of life on an ocean-going workhorse...yet it never loses sight of the aching, sensual undertow prompting its protagonist’s sometimes impulsive behavior. Powerful."- Trevor Johnston, Time Out London

"A perceptive exploration of womanhood and infidelity, free of sensationalism or judgement. Ariane Labed is natural and engaging as Alice, while the large cast of international actors add a warmth and dynamism to the languid pace of the script." - Culture Whisper
