    The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden

    The simple but affecting film begins a weeklong award-qualifying run Friday before opening in stateside art houses Jan. 21, and is worth a look for its gutsy and commanding central performance.

    In his debut feature, the director is wise enough to move his hand-held camera wherever Steen wants to go.

Brilliant character study by Ladel
This movie is about a charismatic, beautiful, damaged woman, as she attempts to rebuild her life and her family. Paprika Steen is brilliant, showing us all of her desperation, her manic energy, her exhaustion. This is not a movie for kids, or those looking for exciting action sequences. But it is a wonderful study of a fascinating and complex character.
