„It may be the most jolly and precise film about the nowness. Every millennial will easily identify with the main actress and others will learn a bit more about this unbearable anxiety coming from the vast possibilities, and ruling cult of individualism and self-realization. Film’s emotional palette is really wide therefore I promise tears from both laughter and empathy.“ (Aistė Račaitytė)
