"A star-making turn from Raffiella Chapman... There is a ferocity to Chapman's piercing eyes... she channels the anger and vulnerability of Gen Z" The Playlist

"impressive up-and-comer, Chapman's stoic but winningly vulnerable performance keeps proceedings humane and honestly felt: Where so many YA heroines amount to dauntless adults in children's bodies, she plays the title character as a changeable, characterful child thrust into unreasonable adult responsibilities." Variety

"Chapman is believably commanding in the lead, with a toughness that belies her tender years. But she still embodies the uncertainty of a teenager, and there's a touching vulnerability to her performance." Cineuropa
