Reception
Reviewing for Miami New Times, David Ehrenstein compared the film to Making Love (1982), considering that the film "is less sexually skittish than its predecessor, and a lot less reassuring about the marital dissolution in the wake of homosexual self-discovery".[7] The review in Fotogramas scored the film with 3 out of 5 stars, considering the performances by Bardem and Gil to be the best about the film, while citing the "over-emphatic" musical score as a negative point.[6]
