“Jon Ekstrand’s eerie, ethereal score seeps through every crevice of this largely wordless film (co-penned by Emil Nygaard Albertsen). It’s a probing tension of a score that evokes Eva’s personal descent into impulsive retribution––a parallel to the prison system in the film’s crosshairs, albeit one with a hope for the future.”  The Film Stage Magazine 

“The film is a harrowing tale of a prison guard who requests to be transferred to a high security wing after she learns that a young man from her past has been sent there. The mystery: who is this man to her, and what does she want? The score is filled with unease, borne by electronics and strings, a rising tension as the tale unfolds.”  A Closer Listen OST Review
