Reception
Wendy Ide reviewed the film at Rotterdam for ScreenDaily and criticized its pace, writing, "the film’s pacing drags". Ide opined that "Despite the best efforts of the assertively whimsical score, the dated and heavy-handed comedy fails to land". Concluding review Ide called it "a misfire" and said, "And there’s a curious contradiction at the heart of the picture – the characters are cartoonish and grotesque, but the look of the film is, for the most part, grey-tinged and glumly realist."
