The critic Fabien Lermercier of the Cineuropa portal highlighted that the film is "endowed with an eminently convincing cast", and that it "weaves a strange web where the invisible plays with hyperrealism while exploring themes such as truth, family and freedom".[10] Jonathan Holland of Screendaily stated that the film "combines powerful atmospheric elements with suspense and classic tragedy in a haunting and disturbing tone, providing a fresh, sensitive and thoughtful perspective on the cinema of gang culture in Latin America."[11]
