Film historian Tim Palmer described the film an engaging example of contemporary French pop-art cinema, referring to directors who wittily merge the features of intellectual/arthouse cinema with mass/popular cinema, and put director Tedeschi in the company of filmmakers such as François Ozon, Maîwenn le Besco, Sophie Fillières and Serge Bozon.^[4]
