Damon Wise of Deadline wrote, "The ending, then, is a little disappointing, since it involves a little twist that, if she really was paying so much close attention, [Goliarda] Sapienza would have seen coming. Nevertheless, the filmâÂÂs central premise is refreshing." Guy Lodge of Variety called the film "repetitive, tediously non-linear" and "restless, darting". He commended the performance of Matilda De Angelis, however, writing, "De Angelis is electric as the capricious, self-destructive Roberta, even if the character herself isnâÂÂt very substantively written, and the film's very pulse quickens whenever she enters the frame." Lee Marshall of Screen Daily also noted the film's non-linear structure, writing that "the temporal leaps don't distract from the fact that the plot is threadbare in places".
