Press Quotes
With a knack for storytelling, director Emilie Upczak has effectively employed an ever-consequential female gaze to look into the subject matter; and in the process, while dissecting the system of sex trade, she succinctly puts her point of view as a strong undercurrent of the narrative.
—Manoj Barpujari, FIPRESCI
