Reception
Writing for SBS Movies, Don Groves panned the film, noting "deficiencies in the screenplay" such as the "insipid, sullen protagonist plus a meandering, listless narrative and a disappointing lack of tension or engagement with the characters." The film nevertheless won the Best Director award at the 2010 Dushanbe Film Festival.
