Reception

Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter assessed that "the central character" (played by Navas in a performance "which can be described as otherworldly") is "more interesting than the film about her in this beautifully-played study of a woman in emotional limbo".[5]

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting the acting duel between Navas and Bertuccelli as the best thing about the film, while noting that it goes sometimes over and over the same things as a negative point.[9]
