"This is probably the most beautiful film at Dances With Films"

"Hajim directs the hell out of the film…This isn’t a mermaid movie where the ocean disappears as soon as the heroine leaves it. The seas play a pivotal role, both symbolic and literal, for both of the women, and it’s by far the most successful element of his film."
– Evan Dossey, MidWest Film Journal
"It connects you to each character in depths beyond your initial expectations…making the most of every moment."

"Dayva Summer Escobar, who played the role of Oee really delivers an epic performance. Without speaking much, she takes us on a journey of the struggles of mental health and the beauty of the ocean. Justina Mattos, who played Dr. Nell Jamison also brings it home with a deep and caring performance." "a film that I could watch over and over", "beautifully shot", "an eye for beauty"
– Mike Gencarelli, Media Mikes

– The Movie Database (TMDB)
