- Reception skews positive with a Certified Fresh 75% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, a 90% audience score, and a B+ CinemaScore.
- Budget reporting varies, with many outlets citing about $14 million and one using $20 million, and past Disney/Searchlight patterns point to a likely PVOD window in mid-May and a Hulu on Disney+ debut in late June.
