Reception
David Stratton of Variety assessed that the "ultra-violent pic" [...] "is leavened by the surprisingly tender treatment of the principal femme character, beautifully played by Najwa Nimry", otherwise writing that it "has 'cult' written all over it".
Augusto Martínez Torres of El País wrote that despite the film being "full of irregularities", the helmer manages "a very personal work, a tender feminine portrait within the most terrible violence".
