The film premiered at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, in the Venice Biennale sidebar, and was awarded the Young Cinema Award for best Italian film. [4] The film was also screened at the Seattle International Film Festival. [5]
The film was nominated as best comedy film at the 2017 Silver Ribbon Awards. [6] Giampietro Balia from Cineuropa described it as a "sardonic take on our human condition", whose "even-keeled satire spares nobody", and paired it to Jan-Ole Gerster's A Coffee in Berlin , even if "Aronadio goes one step further, bending the rules of composition to serve the higher purpose of trapping the protagonist in a claustrophobic and stifling space".
