Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety described the film as a "rangy, intimate drama about an array of society's victims living in a trailer park".[1]
Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars writing that the good thing "about 'telling nothing' about so many lives, [is] that some of them make it to the end safe and sound".[8]
Lluís Bonet Mojica of La Vanguardia deemed Small Lives to be "a choral and well-structured film" about "a microcosm with a wide range of situations, without falling into weeping melodrama".[9]
