Sisters July and September are thick as thieves, though very different -September is protective and distrustful of others, while July is open to and curious about the world. Their dynamic is a concern to their single mum, Sheela, who is unsure what to do with them. When September is suspended from their school, July is left to fend for herself and begins to assert her own independence - which does not go unnoticed by September. Tension among the three women builds when they take refuge in an old holiday home in Ireland, where July finds her bond with September shifting in ways she cannot entirely understand or control - and a series of surreal encounters test the family to their limit.

Katie McCabe Sight & Sound Labed’s film, like Johnson’s novel, understands how sisters practise life on one another, testing out the worst facets of their personalities until they are ready to present them to the world. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) For a good two-thirds of it, I thought it was really decent... We will see better work from this writer/director in the future because there is a lot of promise. Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The closing twist is crudely telegraphed earlier on and arrives with a naff explanatory flashback that’s laugh-out-loud preposterous. So no, not an especially successful adaptation. Rated: 2/5 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) Themes such as feminine complexity, the denunciation of suppressed racism, and activism in favor of family diversity emerge in its story, but Labed fails to combine them into a sufficiently seductive, albeit lewd, work.
