Reception

Philipp Engel of '' Fotogramas'' rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting the editing pertaining the film's dreamlike structure, while citing certain lack of aesthetic simplicity and naturalness and some out-of-place character as negative points. As a bottom line, Jonathan Holland of '' The Hollywood Reporter'' underscored the film to be a "valuably ambitious fare which is swooningly lovely, intensely personal, evocative -- and inevitably somewhat pretentious". Sergio F. Pinilla of '' Cinemanía'' also scored 4 out of 5 stars, writing that Ramón Salazar tells "the unique chronicle of a lost man", comparing the film to works by Terrence Malick and Julio Medem, also considering that the director manages to bring out the qualities of two of the best Spain's specialists in "trance films" (Nimri and Dueñas).
