Reception

Italian film critic Marco Giusti described the film as "very strange, very violent and very dark, [...] shot in a very modern, fast-paced way, [...] excellent, full of inventive". According to critic , it is a well-made film that has as its only flaw the "alternation of too many registers", that "especially takes a big risk with its melodramatic ending".
