TOMATOMETER
3.5 stars out of 4 -- The feature filmmaking debut from writer/director/co-editor Lauren Hadaway is an intimate and powerful sensory experience all around....She also creates a dark and vivid sense of place...
RogerEbert.com
[A] dark-side-of-sports thriller. It’s a movie, like PERSONAL BEST or PREFONTAINE that a lot of star athletes will probably be able to relate to, but it’s also a movie for anyone who ever felt existentially uncomfortable in gym class.
Variety
This is not a feel-good sports film. This is a film about an all-consuming, unhealthy fixation on suffering.
Hollywood Reporter
Without the pressure of narrative grandeur, Hadaway is free to go big in her filmmaking style. She uses maximalist techniques like slow motion, rapid editing and deep space staging to create dreamlike sequences of Alex’s isolation.

Product Description:
Lauren Hadaway writes and directs this youth-themed drama that follows Alex Dall (Isabelle Fuhrman), a university student who seems to be obsessing about the sports of rowing. As a member of her school's rowing team, she is seen working herself to the bones as a novice team member, often sacrificing her academics and other aspects of her life. Things change a bit when she meets Dani (Dilone), a teacher's assistant who later becomes her girlfriend. However, even with love now in the equation, Alex still seems to be heading toward self-destruction in her life obsessions.
