In Session Film "The title character, played with impressive poise by Raffiella Chapman" 4/5 stars The Guardian ""Steely 13-year-old Vesper (impressive up-and-comer Raffiella Chapman) stoic but winningly vulnerable performance keeps proceedings humane and honestly felt: Where so many YA heroines amount to dauntless adults in children's bodies, she plays the title character as a changeable, characterful child thrust into unreasonable adult responsibilities."
