La Repubblicas film critic Paolo D'Agostini praised the director, owning "a rare directorial talent: the ability to make his films seem richer than they actually are", and paired the film to the "most inspired" Krzysztof Zanussi's works. Deborah Young from Variety also lauded the film, calling it "a tale capable of bringing tears to the eyes", that is directed with "a rock-line solidity" and "radiates a pious simplicity that should appeal [...] all emotionally susceptible viewers". Paolo Mereghetti described it as "a distinctive elegy about sacrifice, remembrance, and friendship that more than once succeeds in touching the viewer's heart".
