Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter billed the film as a "low-budget dystopian tale" "stronger on atmospherics than on story", underlining as the bottom line "strong ideas and cast meet weak characters".

[4] Paula Arantzazu Ruiz [es] of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, welcoming how the film distances itself by means its portrayal of claustrophobic oppression from the messianic tone of recent dystopian fictions catering to a teen audience.
