Reception
[edit]Variety's critic David Rooney praised the film and wrote: "While it declines to build much on the script's solid comedic foundations, and perhaps could have used more punch, this amusing reflection on life, love and friendship quietly satisfies with its lightness of touch, its bittersweet observations and affectionately drawn characters."[2] Paolo Mereghetti described the film as "marked by a poetics of small coincidences and by surreal touches but also by discrepancies and ingenuity, [...] yet unusual and worthy of attention".[3]
