Reception
Ren Aguila of GMA News gave Swap a positive review, stating that the film "knows when to relieve tension". He praised Zuasola for mastering the one-take technique and the "perfect balance of the visual, the symbolic, and the expository" seen in the performances of the main characters.[4]
Jay Cruz of SineGang gave Swap 3.5 out of 5 stars, dismissing the film as mediocre. He praised the performances of the characters and the film's production design, but panned the story for being squeezed "between this obligation to display such details" and the need to express the main narrative at hand".[5]
After being part of the 2015 Sinag Maynila Film Festival, it was later on featured in the 63rd San Sebastián International Film Festival (Spain), 2nd Silk Road International Film Festival (China), 16th Tokyo Filmex (Japan) and 10th Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival (Indonesia).[3]
