The film first premiered at South by Southwest in March 2024 and was released in theaters and digitally in November 2025. Nell Minow, writing for RogerEbert.com, praised Fogelmanis's performance as "beautiful", while Luna Guthrie of Collider called it "heart-wrenching" and wrote that it displayed a "range and depth of emotion". Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote that Ben's internal conflict was not "dramatized very vividly" by Fogelmanis but that he "holds central focus strongly enough in most respects" within the film.
