Reception

[edit]

Quim Casas of El Periódico de Catalunya rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, assessing that, similarly to Marshland, it stands out for the "elegant" way in which it portrays characters "who are not always dependent on the plot [...] in which they find themselves involved".[14]

Philipp Engel of Cinemanía rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, declaring it as "an impeccable genre film, supported by a crime plot that is as solid as it is minimalist".[15]

Luis Martínez of El Mundo rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, considering it to be Alberto Rodríguez's most ambitious and deep project.[16]

Éric Neuhoff of Le Figaro deemed the film to be a "a successful blend of Ken Loach and The Silent World".[17]
