Reception

In his review for Cineuropa, Davide Abbatescianni defined the film as "another missed opportunity." He highlighted how "the acting performances, which are all sadly below par, are heavily constricted by weak writing when it comes to character construction, and superficial when exploring conflict," adding that "the film’s narrative subplots are disappointingly predictable."^[2]
