Reception
A reviewer in Aftonbladet commented that the film was "splendidly filmed" (flott inspelad) and raised the performances of the male and female leads, Egil Eide and Clara Wieth.[2] The film's English release was praised in the Grimsby Evening Telegraph, with the reviewer commenting that despite a serious subject matter, the film was enjoyable and compelling throughout.[3]
