Reception

edit

Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "It's not quite as clever as it thinks it is, or as original, but it does manage a strong sense of morbid curiosity as to how events will shake out."[1]

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Dufils vividly captures the locale's seedy, swampy vibe, with its dive bars, shabby homes, ubiquitous convenience stores and underground fight spots. If only there were a more compelling, engaging narrative to match."[2]
