Reception

La Repubblica's film critic Callisto Cosulich praised the film, comparing it to Marco Risi's Boys on the Outside but "allergic to any sociological instance", and noting that its very low budget ultimately worked in its favor, as "had it been more polished and technically accomplished, might have risked slipping into outright sensationalism." [2] Leonardo Autera from Corriere della Sera also lauded the film, calling it "an exemplary demonstration of a style, unconstrained by preconceived schemes yet cohesive and rich in expressiveness", showcasing Capuano's "command of unusual expressive means that extend well beyond mere experimentation." [4]

For this film Capuano won the Nastro d'Argento for Best New Director. [5]
