Reception
[edit]Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía brought attention to performance of Salas, writing that she "brings a depth and precious truth to her character".[4]
Javier Ocaña lamented the result to be "a self-satisfied trifle, generally elegant and occasionally mordant, but vacuous at the end of the day" and compared it unfavourably to the "formidable" book by Busquets.[9]
Laura Pérez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, singling out Salas' performance as the best thing about the film.[10]
