Reception


Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily deemed the film to be "always watchable but very conventional, never providing anything new or unexpected".
Javier Ocaña of El País wrote that "the result does not live up to the concept", with the film starting off "bad", improving a lot with the romance [between the two lead characters], an uneveness arising again when thriller fully takes over.
Santiago Alverú of Cinemanía rated the film 3½ stars, considering that eventually "it is Aida Folch who holds everything together".
Catherine Bray of The Guardian rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, writing that Trueba "gets most of the ingredients right – exotic location, good-looking leads, a few different narrative reveals up its sleeve – but flubs the execution, leaving his cast floundering".
