Reception

edit

In her book Sara García: Ícono cinematográfico mexicano, abuela y lesbiana, Ileana Baeza Lope cites the film as one of the exceptions to the tendency in Mexican cinema of "affective relationships between women [being] relegated to the sidelines", while "male camaraderie relationships were in the foreground".[2]
