Cast

Reception

The film received negative reviews after its Berlin premiere. Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian gave the film two stars out of five and observed that "[t]he film is possessed of blandly humanistic flavours, new-agey gestures and quaint stereotypes".[4] The Hollywood Reporter called it "inconsistent" and "a mixed bag".[5] In his review for Variety, Guy Lodge wrote that "[the film] is dramatically as pallid and lifeless as the frozen tundra on which it takes place".[6] Indiewire's Jessica Kiang criticized the script and Coixet's direction, adding that "whenever it threatens to find its way, it soon loses it again".[7]

The film received a warmer reception in Coixet's native Spain after its November release, getting three and four-star reviews from outlets such as El Mundo, Cinemanía and La Vanguardia.[8]
