The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival under its original title Allswell on June 13, 2022, where it won the award for Best Screenplay.[3] Freestyle Digital Media acquired the film's North American distribution rights on August 21, 2024 and will release the film on October 18, 2024 in theaters and all cable, satellite, and digital platforms.[4][5]

Reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 88% of 8 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.7/10.[6]

William Bibbiani of TheWrap wrote that the film is "full of love and meaning while engaging, directly, with the failings of the film's characters."[7] Mae Abdulbaki of Screen Rant wrote that while the film "could have certainly expanded on the character dynamics a bit more", it is "engaging and well-handled overall".[3]

Sumner Forbes of Film Threat gave the film a score of 6 out of 10.[8] Kristen Lopez of IndieWire gave the film a grade of "C" and wrote that the film "feels like a Lifetime series pilot, with the women adhering to one stereotype each", and that "These aren't characters reconciling with their past; it's three disparate characters forced to be in one movie."[9]
