Reception[edit]
Director Cedrón was quoted in Clarín as saying, "They are not going to find in my film those vast theories about reality that some French filmmakers construct, I want them to find reality ... not a generalized, abstract reality ... In my film there is more room for the aesthetics of a Roberto Arlt, a Beckett let the signatures of some nouvelle addicts wander".[1]: 265
A review in Clarín read: "Film language stripped of all mannerism, with stark images... each of the characters is precisely defined."[1]: 265
Manrupe and Portela wrote in Un diccionario de films argentinos that it was a "[g]ood approach to an office story, its pettiness and competitiveness."[1]: 265
