On one hand, themes of grief and platonic interconnectedness hint at something meaningful. On the other hand, the film’s deliberate ambiguity muddies its message, though the search for signs after loss will resonate with anyone who has grieved.

2/5

What should be an emotional meditation on grief, loss, and healing instead becomes a frustratingly distant experience, leaving its most intriguing questions unanswered.

This bizarre melodrama seems equally on the verge of turning into a horror movie or a Christian parable at any given moment.

3.5/5

Director Spencer King approaches the material with admirable restraint, allowing uncertainty to hang over the film and trusting the audience to decide how much they want to believe.

It's so earnest and sincere that you don't want to be mean to it, but the only way it works is as unintentional comedy

... bogs down in philosophical and supernatural mumbo-jumbo that’s more tedious than thought-provoking.

So many of us live such busy, hurried lives that we might miss the signs left for us by the departed. Nickels treats this topic well. Nicely done!

Nickles explores the permanence of grief through a supernatural hook. Beautiful performances from the entire cast, most notably Rob Riggle and Aaron Holliday. It’s a bit of a slow burn but definitely leaves you with hope.
