Reviews
On filmosophie.com, the presentation of the dynamics between the main characters Sartay and Taimas is praised - at the beginning they are still inseparable, but later they become alienated and hostile. The “grandiose landscape shots” and the representation of the “many cultural peculiarities” are also emphasized.
