 Writing for the "Los Angeles Times", Gary Goldstein offered a mixed response to the production, but wrote that "it's hard not to be captivated" by Koechlin's and Gupta's performances.Observers also praised the film's technical aspects, while ascribing its appeal to its script, which was "emotionally arresting and startlingly revelatory" and "straight from the heart".Bose's direction was praised for its restraint and its "luminous austerity" and the "expert use of emotions and moments".
