Reception

Fernando López of La Nación gave a positive review ("good"), writing that the "solid debut" film by Miguel Cohan featured "no gimmicks, no appeals to easy emotion, no sobering speeches, no underlinings", and "no manichaeism in the portrayal of characters", whereas the elaborate screenplay (perhaps "overly elaborate") deals with the likes of "guilt, hypocrisy, individualism, irresponsibility".[8]

Jonathan Holland of Variety considered that the story "is explored with sensitivity and craft", "built around a carefully worked-out script", underpinning a "strong calling card for debut helmer Miguel Cohan".[4]

Javier Ocaña of El País considered the film to be a "powerful dramatic thriller that deals with all angles of an unintentional criminal event", featuring a "superb use of ellipses" and "good performances".[9]
