Reception
Adolfo C. Martínez of La Nación gave the film a 'very good' rating, writing about how Docampo endows the film with "enormous warmth and tenderness".[10]
Juan Pablo Cinelli of Página/12 assessed that the film rounds off "an effective narrative and, above all, tells a concrete and complete story", while pointing out that the sense of derivativeness from other works hovers around over the course of the film.[11]
