Reception
For this film De Sica was awarded the Nastro d'Argento Award for Best New Director and received a David di Donatello nomination in the same category.[4][5]
Paolo Mereghetti described the film as "an unusually harsh film, going against the grain of Italian cinema", which "seeks to offer a wholly unflinching portrait of a youth whose parents are absent [...], left alone to face its own solitude and vulnerabilities". [6]
