Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. rango – ★½
   “Two actors here would go on and co-star in one of the greatest films ever made the very next year after this atrocity. Andrzej Barański stinks. Who allowed him near my Dekalog actor?”

2. Dagm_ – ★
   “That one star was for the scenery, but everything else was kinda stupid.”

3. orinow – ★★★★
   “Dramatic divergence of poetry and prose of love, rivalry between mother and daughter, fleeting dreams versus harsh necessity.”

4. Fernando Figueroa – ★★★★
   “Two lovers for the same man; one preferred to say sorry instead of asking permission, the other ate illusion!”

5. simiaalba – ★★★★
   “Aesthetic. Beautiful people and minimalistic landscapes.”
