      Reception


      Javier Ocaña of El País deemed the film "a challenging and very courageous attempt that, nevertheless, is shipwrecked both by a lack of complexity and by narrative and technical imbalances".
      Manuel Piñón of Cinemanía justified the only star out of 5 he give to the film, because "at least a spiritual retreat is due for Marías so he can reexamine the innumerable errors of his film".
