The film received favorable reviews from multiple publications, including “The Independent”, “The Observer”, and “The Daily Telegraph”.

The play was written by Anya Reiss and is her debut at 19 in 2010, having only begun in the craft professionally at 17 years of age. In 2011, Aisling then starred in the television film entitled “The Borrowers”, which would lead to a string of other television projects, continuing to work with BBC in “Public Enemies” and “Good Cop”.
In 2013, she worked on “Mr. Selfridge”, playing the character Agnes Towler in the period drama, telling the story of the titular character and his department store during the 1900s up to the 1920s.
