Reviews
The lexicon of international films describes the film as an "unsuitable attempt to explain young people's drug consumption based on their attitude towards life: designed clichéd, played amateurishly." The Protestant film observer takes the opposite opinion : "Very honest, knowledgeable and stylistically reliable color film, who portrays the fashion of drug consumption as a bleak debacle. Recommended from 18. "
