criticism
Dennis Harvey describes the film as consisting of two parts: a first nostalgic and a second with flashbacks in a drug frenzy. Nevertheless, the film is skilfully and tastefully produced.
Nelson Hoineff praised the work of the producers and the camera, but the film itself contained no innovations and had serious deficiencies in the interpretation. The open portrayal of childish sexuality caused controversy.
