Critical reception
Film critics liked the film, with one writing, "This was the most original film that I have seen since last years Pans Labyrinth. What was even more amazing was that the budget was estimated at $1.5 million, quite a bit of money in Argentina, but not for Hollywood. It just proves that you do not need $60 million dollars to do a film, especially one of quality. On a critical note, some viewers will be overwhelmed by the fast pace of the screenplay. Plus, with so many metaphors, one might have difficulty keeping up with what is actually going on. The production crew, headed by Daniel Gimelberg, brings out Esteban Sepirs imagination in full throttle." Sapir, Esteban. Cinema Without Borders, film review, January 2007.
