Reception
[edit]Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa considered that while the film's premise "is not particularly original" and "some of the characters can end up seeming excessively distraught and querulous", its lead actor manages to pull off a "miracle" by never ceasing to fascinate the audience with the portrayal of a "romantic, lonesome animal in pain".[4]
Javier Ocaña of El País wrote that the helmer moves his gaze (and the camera) around an "immense actor in a state of grace" [portraying] a character who could well be the same one as [Sbaraglia's] in Pain and Glory.[11]
Reviewing for the International Cinephile Society, Matthew Joseph Jenner rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "a compassionate and poignant immersion into the lives of these characters as they voyage through the world, unearthing its secrets and embracing its unconventional nature".[12]
