- "Coming across as something like "The Double Life of Veronique" filtered through the dark imagination of David Lynch, it establishes debut feature director Nicolangelo Gelormini as a fresh new voice in Italian cinema... This isn’t a traditional fairy tale, but arthouse in service of profoundly dark emotions. Simply put, this is one of the most haunting films of the year."
- "A kind of cubist, surreal dark and dreamlike horror story, seen from a child’s point of view... A surreal, complex, risky film that will divide audiences, but whose emotional impact is undeniable, and which requires some time to settle down and be understood."
