• Critics emphasize the film’s decision to keep the assault off‑camera, citing a refusal of sensationalism in favor of sober storytelling.
• The narrative is structured in three chapters that move non‑chronologically to reflect the uneven course of healing.
• Naomi Ackie and Lucas Hedges are singled out for grounded supporting performances that deepen the film’s emotional texture.
• Empire describes the film as “tenderly funny,” and Little White Lies highlights its focus on small acts of care within a wider culture of institutional indifference.
