Reviews

‘Love becomes a game of percentages in this intriguing alt-world sci-fi drama.’
★★★★
James Mottram, Radio Times

‘There’s an endearing bizarreness to Fingernails… that allows him [Nikou] to grasp at some of the intricacies of the human condition, steeped in silences as much as heartfelt analysis.’
Carlos Aguilar, LA Times
