Reception

Critical reception

[edit]

Irving Torres Yllán from Cine NT called the film a candid effort to tell a story suitable for the whole family, as well as possessing good special effects. However, it also highlights the rhythm that fails at times, the unbelievable situations and the lack of emotion in its soundtrack.[13] Loretta Chnattiri from Código Spaghetti highlights the fidelity of the tape in recreating the atmosphere of the thirties, in addition to calling the film more of a visual spectacle because the script and the direction of the actors are described as poor.[14]
