Reception

Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter called the film an "enigmatic socially conscious thriller delivered with visual flair."[2] May Seah of Today wrote that while the film "does have glaring faults", the "way in which it presents its ideas is thought provoking enough to make this a film worth watching."[3]
