      Reception


      Although not immediately popular with critics, the film was a significant commercial success, making at least $2 million at the box office in its initial run. Its success was part of a wave of films that reignited the commercial viability of the Cinema of Quebec, following a number of fallow years in the late 1960s. As of 2020, it was still recognized as one of the most commercially successful films in Quebec's cinematic history.
      In 2022, Chloé Robichaud received a grant from Quebec's Société de développement des entreprises culturelles to produce a contemporary remake of the film. Two Women, with a screenplay by Catherine Léger, is slated to premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
