| ClarínPablo A. Scholz... enjoyable, pithy, charming... [Full review in Spanish] |
| ArtforumMelissa AndersonThe precise attachments, romantic or otherwise, among the constellation of characters may be deliberately confusing, but the performers themselves, all part of the writer-director's regular troupe, are exceptionally vivid. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThe action takes place in streets and bedrooms, studios and museums, and the actors are never word-bound; Piñeiro, a master choreographer, sets them in graceful motion and captures them in fluid, lively images. |
| Screen InternationalDan FainaruTrue, no one is given a chance to shine or develop their part, but this goes with the territory. |
| Reverse ShotAdam NaymanThe happy paradox of Piñeiro's work is that for all its meticulous control, it's also modest, starting with those truncated running times and including also the pared-down size of the narratives. |
