"Bakalova is a real discovery. Most of the scenes that had me covering my eyes in mortified glee were the ones in which she took the lead," wrote BBC critic Nicholas Barber about the film, which is a production of the United States and Great Britain.

There have even been predictions that Bakalova will inevitably receive an Oscar nomination for a supporting female role, 24 Chasa daily writes.
