Reception



Quim Casas of 'El Peridico de Catalunya' rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be, short of being an overly political film, "frank, direct, fluid, somewhat sad, well built around its four performers and with a beautiful experimental coda".

Beatriz Martnez of 'Fotogramas' rated the film 5 out of 5 stars, pointing out that Trueba displays "the unusual ability to capture a state of mind", with the film underpinning, in addition to a letter of love to cinema, "the best X-ray yet of the feeling of limbo in the aftermath of the [COVID-19] pandemic".

Andrea G. Bermejo of 'Cinemana' scored 4 out of 5 stars, determining the film to be, out of all Trueba's works, the one connecting the most with the real, underscoring as a bottom line: "like a day in the country with friends. Pure enjoyment".

Reviewing for 'Deadline', Anna Smith assessed that the film features "a simple but effective set up; a characterful ramble powered by four terrific performances and witty dialogue rooted in the truth".

Jessica Kiang of 'Variety' deemed the film ("one of the late-breaking joys of the Karlovy Vary competition") to be "as sociable and swiggable as a draught or 10 of sweetly fortified wine".

Javier Ocaa of 'El Pas' considered that, depending on who looks at it and lives it, the film can be either "placid, bitter, lucid and enveloping", or "simply ironic, provocative and even comical. And maybe they are all right".
