[5] Carey and Desrochers worked out a specific colour palette with cinematographer Kristof Brandl, to highlight the contrast between Leah and Benji's world.

"[2] Leslie Byron Pitt, a critic from the magazine Little White Lies writes in her review that the social gap between Benji and Leah is portrayed in a brutally honest way.

On the other hand, the film makes it very clear from the start that Benji is not the stereotypical “product of his surroundings” that Leah really wants to portray.

[7] Alex Davidson for Sight & Sound praised the lead performances, particularly from Orebiyi, and the anti-privilege theme but criticised some simplicity in the story.

"[8] Wendy Ide for Screen Daily praised Orebiyi's performance while also criticising the use of Lea as a narrative device in some aspects of the story.
