Most reviews praise it as a tightly written, emotionally rich rollercoaster worth watching in theatres, though one critic finds the script weak for glorifying male irresponsibility despite strong editing and acting.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
