'Craig Boreham’s feature debut dramatises the coming of age – and coming out – of a queer teenager from a migrant family living in Sydney. Certainly, more LGBTQIA visibility is important, but according to Glenn Dunks, the film misses an opportunity to illuminate sexuality’s problematic interactions with religion and culture, and perhaps falls short of faithfully depicting life for non-heterosexual young people today.'
