When Aisha descends into depression after her husband's death, her oldest daughter Vi finds herself forced to bear the major responsibilities of a parent, while her younger son Troy is excluded from school and increasingly cut off from the rest of the family. From there, an unexpected tragedy will either make or break an already fractured family.
The film has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes out of 16 reviews. Beth Webb of Empire awarded the film four stars out of five.
Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote "Beard expects us to learn about the characters through their physical interactions as well as their facial expressions, and we end up caring deeply about these people even without conventional movie storytelling."
