At the 2019 International Film Festival, the film was nominated for Best Actor (Peter Bowles) and Best Sound.[1] According to a review by Leslie Felperin in The Guardian, "Writer-director Paul Duddridge heaps on the rotten luck with a certain energetic glee, but too often the performances feel under-directed."[2]The Times said the film had a "riveting and all too credible central idea", and described the film as "uneven".[3]
