REVIEWS
"Amara Cash’s directorial debut is a sensual feast" -LA TIMES
"Amara Cash has crafted one of the more unique films of the year" -THEPLAYLIST.NET
“Amara Cash is an exciting new talent with vision, style, and a twisted sense of humor.” -INSIDE OUT TORONTO
“Cash is unhesitant in depicting female sexual pleasure.” -FILM INQUIRY
"Director Amara Cash is an absolute revelation whose work here is that of a veteran filmmaker even as it is her first feature length film.
She has an impeccable eye, and her choices make for a movie of beautifully detailed visuals." -GEEKSMEDIA
“A beautiful nightmare...Amara Cash has a brilliant vision for the neon- punk world of millennial fashion design” -PUNCHDRUNKCRITICS
"The cotton candy production design places the audience in a world perfectly crafted by a bold, uncompromising filmmaker; Amara Cash delivers a picturesque nightmare of post-modern Queer cinema." -SF INDIEFEST
“This promising and highly original debut feature is steered by commanding performances from the central duo and Cash’s keen eye for colorful visuals, playful costumes, and arresting sets.” -MELBOURNE QUEER FILM FESTIVAL
“Amara Cash’s direction makes the film fit in perfectly with the canon of high-caliber of dark comedies aimed towards young women who have swept the indie scene” -STARRY MAGAZINE
"Placing Cash’s film within the context of queer cinema’s past and present shouldn’t distract from how truly unique it is. It’s a tribute to weirdos and outsiders in theme and story, but also style. The cinematography, editing, and costumes (oh my, the costumes!) work in unison to create a truly magnetic experience." -AUTOSTRADDLE
