Reception
Reviewing for 'Fotogramas', Blai Morell gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting the "virtuosity" of its mise-en-scne and the musical compositions by Vctor Reyes, while noting that there was some performer who was not up to the task.
Raquel Hernndez Lujn of 'HobbyConsolas' gave the film 80 out of 100 points, deeming it to be a cinema masterclass by Corts, "thrilling and captivating" in terms of both the mise-en-scne and its honesty, praising the production design and the actors' direction, while noting that there were some repetitive moments and some over-abuse of the musical score.
Oti Rodrguez Marchante of 'ABC' gave it a positive review with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
Reviewing for 'El Peridico de Catalunya', Beatriz Martnez rated the film with 4 out of 5 stars, considering that, in this film, Corts' virtuosity was put at the service of something more than a mere stylistic exercise.
Jonathan Holland of 'ScreenDaily' considered the result of the juxtaposition of a musical comedy stage performance and the desperate offstage lives of the fictional cast to be "a fine technical achievement, a moving enquiry into what young love can mean under such conditions, and Corts' strongest film since 2010's 'Buried'", also deeming it to be, from a technical point of view, "a tour-de-force in several ways".
