Reception

Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "a well-turned sophomore drama", even though "over-strident in its political correctness".[2]

Javier Ocaña of El País considered that the helmers had moved from the "freshness, boldness and uniqueness" of their debut work to the "doctrine, discourse and academicism" of Cowards, underpinning "a coarse and inconsequential discourse".[9]

Toni Vall [es] of Cinemanía rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, finding it "so stubborn in the cliché, in the formula, in the most well-known archetype".[10]
