Reception
Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars, deeming the filmmaking to be better than the writing, also considering that part of the film's supporting cast is squandered and that the story features an "intentionally naturalistic tone" "that makes us neither laugh nor cry".
Jordi Costa of Fotogramas scored 2 out of 5 stars, writing that the monologue laid out by Vila's character "is a perfect declaration of principles: Ramiro doesn't want to move... and Jonás Trueba's cinema doesn't seem willing to do so either".
