Heartbreakingly hopeful fairytale for all ages – Mark Kermode, GUARDIAN
This [film] takes an unusual and thoughtful look at girlhood, motherhood and friendship. It’s enchanting - EMPIRE
“Secrets aren’t always things we try to hide – there’s just no one to tell them to,” says Nelly, perhaps voicing the vague loneliness of many of us who have had fewer people to tell our secrets to lately – SIGHT & SOUND
