The Critics
Georgie Hobbs, Little White Lies
'Without overdoing the mousiness, Onetto (who starred in Martel's "The Headless Woman") combines an unsophisticated fragility with a strong core, and when she gets what she wants, there's a radiance in her smile that fills the screen.'
Jay Weissberg, Variety
