WeScreenplay Coverage: CONSIDER and RECOMMEND (Top 1%) "At times a dark comedy about faith and guilt, at other times a more thrilling and melodramatic drama, this work has a distinct voice and an audience upending approach that is highly commendable." "Jess is a deliciously smart protagonist." "The more surreal sequences give this film the sense of being like Everything Everywhere All At Once.

"This script hits the gut hard, delivering its message about individuality, guilt and worth in a way that truly reads as a journey, with a conclusion that ties up all the threads in a way that is both commercial and surprising.

Highly commend."
