Reception

Casimiro Torreiro of El País observed a "vocation for transgression", not implying, "unfortunately, success when it comes to transgressing", with the result from the adaptation leaving "ample room for doubt", with none of the performers (bar possibly Santpere) seemingly believing a lot in what they are doing.^[4]
