The film was inspired by a past encounter of Odette when he was 14, but is not a direct portrayal of his childhood

The film features lots of lengthy scenic scenes of the natural backdrops of the roaring waterfalls and minimal dialogue in certain scenes. The film displays “Murphy’s ability to command the screen with stillness”

Critical Response
There are not a lot of reviews of the film, but they are mixed. So few that Rotten Tomatoes only has 5 critical reviews. The average rating is 6.2/10 and has no audience score. Some of the critic comments view the film as “quietly haunting and effective”. Others like Gary Goldstein state that “ Murphy’s quietly precise performance ultimately can’t overcome the film’s chilly gravity and unsatisfying finale”

Lacey Liam of The Globe and Mail says the film has a promising premise but the “follow through is solemn to the point of dullness”. Similarly The Hollywood Reporter states “The Bottom Line: Veteran character actor Michael Murphy delivers a quietly mesmerizing performance in this frustratingly static drama”.
