Reception
Critical response
Panorama film critic Simona Santoni included the film in the best 10 Italian films of 2023, and described it as "visceral and intense, with varied baroque moments." Wendy Ide from Screen International described it as a " visceral, unsettling" film that "with its hard-edged compassion and affinity with society’s discarded and rejected souls, has a kinship with the work of Pasolini". Cineuropa wrote: "This incredibly dark tale ends up filling our hearts to bursting point".
