    The film made its premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and made its multi-platform release on March 2016.

    The film has a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

    Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Suitably low-key but sometimes under-realized, this drama is fueled by its working-class milieu and a heart-wrenching performance by Hill Harper."

    However, Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The film feels coolly detached because the story and characters are underdeveloped."
