Reception
= Critical reception
=Elizabeth Limón from En Filme emphasize that it feels fresh in the perspective of the events that occurred in real life, although he comments that the implementation of rotoscoping is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it manages to provide an innovative element. On the other hand, there are sequences where the characters lack movement. Alejandro Alemán from El Universal wrote: "Olimpia gives too many turns on itself, but it fulfills as one more drama that is framed by that fatal October 2."
