Reception


Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa wrote that the film not just emerges as "a respectable and effective condemnation film, but also as a love letter to friendship and sisterhood".
Javier Ocaña of El País wrote that Macías finds some of the best scenes in the film in the "contrast between the outer light of the girls, for they are girls, and the inner darkness".
Juan Pando of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out 5 stars, pointing out that Macías' greatest success "lies in the cast, made up of non-professional debutants, who lend nerve and authenticity to the drama", while mentioning that the ending "errs on the side of optimism".
