Release
In 2024, Falling Forward Films had acquired the U.S. distribution rights, and set a limited release date for November 15, followed shortly by a nationwide expansion, with intent on qualifying for the upcoming awards season.[6] The film premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2023.[7]
Guy Lodge of Variety gave the film a positive review despite noting that "the cliché count edges into drinking-game territory". He praised the cinematography, writing, "The light and shade here is all in Peter Simonite's splendid, inky-shadowed monochrome lensing; Huston's visual sense outweighs his screenwriting."[3]
