Reviews
Rotten Tomatoes wrote that the film was a "penetrating" drama and a "fascinating study" of the very unusual relationship. He is "saturated" with sadness andsimilar tothe drama Doom by Louis Malle .
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was “a smartly styled melodrama enriched with literary and pseudo-analytical ingredients that focuses on the representation of emotional excesses”. It is "a banality of arts and crafts with high-quality dialogues, expressive imagery and exalted main actors". The magazine TVdirekt wrote that the film offers “art cinema that understands feelings”.
