Reception
Victor Fraga of Dirty Movies opined, "This is not a gloomy movie about the pains of old age. This is a movie about lifelong devotion and love. Sentiments that refuse to die and are firmly etched upon each object and each wall of this rural residence."[7] Praising the lead actors in the movie, Panos Kotzathanasis of Asian Movie Pulse wrote, "Abdurakhmon Yusufaliyev and Roza Piyazova in the two protagonist roles are exceptional, with their antithetical chemistry, as exhibited in the former's grunts and sharp "instructions" and the latter's secret smiles, as much as the moments the upper hand changes, being a true marvel to watch.
