Reception
Casimiro Torreiro of El País assessed that the film "requires patience", as viewers will be rewarded in the last third of the film insofar they do not let themselves "be carried away by primary emotions and remain attentive", despite the "often ridiculous dalliances of Dr. Vargas".[6]
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be an "above-average psychodrama with a generally solid script cobbled together from the leftovers of David Fincher and M. Night Shamayalan [sic]".[2]
