Reception
Critical reception
Giancarlo F. Ciprian from Cinencuentro highlights how the film portrays the protagonist's inner journey and the abrupt end of his childhood, successfully conveying melancholy and emotion. However, he considers the treatment of violence and the historical context superficial, as it simplifies more complex conflicts and offers a flat view of the situation.
