Critical reception
The film has a 71% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes with seven reviews.[2] James Berardinelli of Reelviews gave the film a positive review stating "the high production values, excellent acting, and strong writing make this a cut above what is often accorded this sort of release pattern".[3] Noel Murray of The Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review stating, "Jones and Jibson (the latter of whom also worked on the script) play this material like an intimate theatre piece, finding the finer nuances in their characters' simmering animosity".[4] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "tensely atmospheric" and "benefits immeasurably from the powerful performances by Jones and Jibson".[5] Guy Lodge of Variety gave the film a negative review stating the film is "a bleak nugget of Welsh maritime history [which] is given a Gothic spin by British filmmaker Chris Crow, to resolute but less-than-gripping effect".[6]
