Reception

Javier Ocaña of El País wrote that Rodríguez's remarkable fourth feature film, consisting of "a journey into the depths of the night", and "led by three superb performances", is a collection of highly effective (even if sometimes overly marked) symbols.[5]

Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía scored 4 out of 5 stars, summing the film to be "a new generational portrait that revolves around the vertices of an isosceles triangle fumigated by sex, drugs and alcohol", knowing "how to transmit the uneasiness, sensuality and truth of a generation that is emotionally hopeless".[6]

Robert Koehler of Variety assessed that the "aggressively vapid" film "is acid noir with a flashy surface", offering "little except examples of how not to live".[7]

Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla wrote that Rodríguez's realistic style is blurred (Seville "never looked so ghostly"), while, vis-à-vis the performances, he pointed out that Guillermo Toledo's lysergic excesses are offset by Tristán Ulloa's neat academic restraint", while Blanca Romero comes out successful of her portrayal of chronic dissatisfaction.[8]
