In his review in Le Soleil , Éric Moreault said that the film has "a lack of breath and intensity (...) A great first attempt that suggests good things, as long as Samuel Matteau has the means to realize his ambitions." [1] In Films du Québec, Charles-Henri Ramond said that "several characters are poorly defined, but the overall intensity is very real." [3]
