It came as something of a surprise, given that the audience for domestic films in Poland kept dropping during the pandemic.

In addition, the critics stated that the plot was moving very quickly and efficiently during the first part of the film, while it slowed down in the second part of the movie becoming a bit more chaotic. The film is full of genuinely funny dialogues, and numerous erotic scenes shown with care. [6]
