Cast
Reception Debbie Ging of Estudios Irlandeses lauded writer/director Ciarán O'Connor for making a film that is "an encouraging example of how a powerful message can be delivered about racism and globalisation within a film that is not explicitly about ethnicity or questions of intercultural conflict or coexistence". Stephen Porzio of JOE praised Ruth Negga for her "astounding turn". Patrick O'Connor of Letterboxd commended the film because "Dublin never looked rawer".
