Reception
Clarin's film critic Pablo O. Scholz lauded the film, describing it as "a great film", "not for its pretensions, but for what it achieves in the audience". Lee Marshall from Screen International also praised it, writing "there's universal pleasure to be had in the film's inventive vision of a fugitive who turns the dangerous frontier into a place in which to unburden, change and grow.". Jack Walters from Next Best Picture gave a mixed review, praising its "atmospheric visuals and lighthearted tone", but also noting the romantic side of the script was "underwhelming and underwritten" and describing the first part of the film as "slow".
