Critical response

Variety compared it to "a sad soap, only with literary ambitions and more nudity". The Hollywood Reporter suggested that first-time director Louis-Do de Lencquesaing should stick to being an actor: "one gets the impression here that his talent is best expressed on the other side of the lens."
