Reception

Critical reception

The film holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Javier Quintanar Polanco from Tomatazos highlights the work on the script, calling it sensitive and intelligent in his proposal, avoiding easy laughter through silly gags or offensive stereotypes; however, it also highlights that the themes of middle age and the development of the other characters other than Aranas feel wasted but it is compensated by the acting work of all the cast members.[11]

On the other hand, Luis Angel H. Mora from Cine Premiere criticizes the script, calling it mediocre in terms of character creation, full of clichés and archetypes of forty-somethings whose narrative and comedy become very predictable with forced endings; however, the photographic work of Ramón Orozco Stolbenberg stands out, who manages to turn the environment into one more character.[12]
