Criical response

Film critic Alexander Fedorov noted: "The film uses the usual melodrama techniques: a poor daughter-in-law and a wealthy mother-in-law, an unexpected car accident, a femme fatale who forces the hero to cheat on his crippled wife, and so on. The film's creators have added details and psychological insights to make it more engaging. The acting is charming, and the direction is acceptable, although it lacks subtlety and elegance".
