Reception

[edit]

Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an affectionate, if clumsy, X-ray of the period" [immediately after the death of dictator Franco] in which the sinking soap-opera-like final stretch is compensated by a trio of strong performances and "the sheer fascination of watching a decent portrayal of a society in transition".[5]

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting an "impeccable lead trio" as the best thing about the film, while citing an "improvable screenplay" as a negative point.[7]
