Reception
Ángel Fernández-Santos of El País cited the circumstance that "there is no sufficiently powerful image in the film, no situation from which it can be unequivocally deduced that when this couple [Banderas and Suárez] makes love they are violating the ancestral taboo of consanguinity" as a negative point, also pointing out that the writing resents from some loose threads that the director is not able to fully rectify later in the transfer to a visual language.
