Reception

Anton Bitel of Projected Figures gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Patience is indeed required to navigate this mystery’s enigmatic, circular structure – but along the way, Giulia’s ghost-watching cat Colombo is a constant source of entertainment."[2]

Rich Cline of Shadows on the Wall awarded the film three stars out of five and wrote, "The film looks superb, with a terrific series of settings and characters, even if most scenes are overrun with obtuse quotations."[3]

Lorenzo Belenguer of Escapadas Ideas Mag gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Constantly in a restrained mode, it is brilliantly acted specially by Colagrande and Dafoe. A film that I highly recommend."[4]
