André Waardenburg of NRC Handelsblad compared the film to Slumdog Millionaire and wrote that the film's mixture of 8mm, video, and film footage "gets artificiality lost". Belinda van de Graaf of Trouw gave the film a negative review and called it "an implausible, sad, and pretentious spectacle cobbled together from various far-fetched subplots".
