Reception.
"Screen International" critic Jonathan Holland described the film as "a thought-provoking feature debut plays like a less-shouty Ken Loach, presenting its big ideas on a small canvas, remaining low-key rather than bombastic, and keeping a careful eye on the truthfulness of its characters so that it never feels like agitprop." According to Fabien Lemercier from "Cineuropa", the film is "a very engaging first feature film" that "offers both a portrait of an outsider that is touching in his obstinacy at the crossroads of an existence [...] and a fundamental reflection on urban landscapes".
