Reception

A contemporary Variety review noted that "director Vitali Dudin, in his first feature, paints an unrelentingly grim picture of contemporary Soviet life" and "also brings off a number of outstanding moments and insights into his characters and their plight". La Stampa's film critic Alessandra Levantesi accused the film of mannerism, even if "high-level mannerism, whether in the experimental forms of the Leningrad school or in the naturalistic ones of the Moscow school; rarely lacking a personal touch, and with drama that never comes across as insincere".
