The film premiered in the Platform Prize program at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022.

After its premiere, NEON acquired the North American distribution rights, intending to release it theatrically.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 100%, based on 23 critic reviews with an average rating of 8.2/10.

Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 86 out of 100, based on 4 reviews indicating “universal acclaim”.

The film, set primarily in West Texas, revolves around a group of eight young people who decide to blow up an oil pipeline.

West Texas is the home of the Permian Basin, the most prolific sources for oil and gas activity in the United States.

The eight multinationals control about 62% of the acreage in the Permian Basin, according to Rextag data. The dominant acreage holders include Chevron, which holds 30%, APA (22%), Oxy (5%), ConocoPhillips (3%), Exxon Mobil (1%), Shell and BP with a combined (1%) and others holding the other 38%.

The Permian Basin reaches from just south of Lubbock, past Midland and Odessa, south nearly to the Rio Grande River in southern West Central Texas, and extending westward into the southeastern part of New Mexico. It is so named because it has one of the world’s thickest deposits of rocks from the Permian geologic period.

It is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 7, 2023.
