Reception
Venezuelan film critic Sergio Monsalve said that the movie, along with Chalbaud's late work El Caracazo, Zamora: Tierra y hombres libres and La planta insolente tarnished Chalbaud's career and accomplishments as a filmmaker, saying that they were produced to please the Bolivarian Revolution and the ruling party.
