Reception

Agustín Mahieu said in La Opinión: A recommended film showing children as an oppressed class. The set is an uneven work ... but fascinating, undoubtedly original. The irony, roughness and sensitivity that Sabato reflects in his vision of childhood is probably his greatest merit". Panorama noted its "mesh of close-ups and detail shots that frequently isolate the protagonist", capturing an "abstract childhood, burdened by the camera and the circumstances of the story". Manrupe and Portela wrote: "Irregular in the formal, valuable in its approach to the children's world and its problems".[2]
