It’s a testament to Scotney’s performance that Millie retains a perverse kind of integrity even as she dupes herself more than the people around her. A shrewd and promising debut. Read full review

But in centring her above all else, there are a few too many narrative stones left unturned. Read full review

In the end, the movie far too easily waves away the potential interpersonal damage Millie has caused. Read full review
