Reception
Critical reception
Alejandro Alemán from Semanario Eje Central wrote: "Although the most cynical will find friendship between a septuagenarian and a teenager impossible, (...), it is also impossible not to recognize the good manufacturing of this film that aims to make us smile. It succeeds, and by far." Jesús Chavarría from La Razón de México wrote: "The director does not bet on sensationalism or technical fanfare, nor are there false pretensions or condescension, only the trade and honesty at the service of a story that leads the nature of empathy to take shape in the cinema."
