Reviews
​
-
"a eulogy to youth and to innocence; the world has changed; the kids aren't alright. Harvey John's modern fairy-tale sings the siren's song that so many Gen-Z'ers are familiar with – anxiety; depression; existential dread – and yet it shines a beacon of hope that may allow us in some way to turn back the tide, or at least give us time to shore-up our flood defences" - UK Film Review
-
"Harvey John’s script reads like pages ripped from a diary; transcendent in its relatability... The Developing Room will make waves with this timely and timeless ode to The In-Between" - HOT TICKET
