Reviews

Paul Mavis wrote on October 22, 2006 on www.dvdtalk.com that the film does not explain the characters' motivation, which is a "big problem". The central character of Miriam Auerbach does not know his own motives and does not seem credible at any time. The performances of the actors are "okay".

The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a "soulful, intelligently entertaining melodrama about three people's search for themselves and their place in life". He is "credible in the description of the permanent roller coaster of feelings". The performances of the three main actors are "convincing".
