Reception

Javier Ocaña of El País pointed out that "by means of fixed shots, ultra-orthodox framing and a scrupulous control of the point of view", Rebollo tells us, as if the film were a documentary about animals, about "human fauna".[4]

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, praising the "coherence with which it presents a story of voyeurism without moral alibis", while citing the "(necessary) weariness that runs through some moments of the plot" as the worst thing about it.[8]

Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "a meticulously constructed and ambitious if somewhat ponderous take on loneliness", "making for an interesting but ultimately uninvolving experience", in which Lola Dueñas is "easily the best thing" about it.[3]
