Reception

[edit]

Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa wrote that Pérez Sañudo adds an "extra dose of melancholy with dim, grey and intentionally ugly cinematography" [...] "and ends up imbuing the entire running time with sorrow, making it a hard watch".[8]

Rubén Romero Santos of Cinemanía rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, declaring Pérez Sañudo as the best director of actresses of his generation, with a fabulous performance by Gaztañaga.[9]

Javier Ocaña of El País wrote that the film "has a spirit of collective defeat, of time running out, of a society corrupted by a kind of moral debacle in which there is no room for good souls like that of its protagonist".[10]
