★★★★ Laura Carreira’s impressive debut drama sees a quietly excellent Joana Santos endure dehumanising work conditions while looking for a way out ~ The Guardian.

★★★★★ This superb debut about a lonely warehouse picker is an astonishing fable of hidden miseries. Director Laura Carreira’s research into online retail fed into this deeply sinister but plausible world with whispers of sci-fi dystopia. ~ Irish Times.
