Ciarán Hinds said in an interview with RTÉ "This won't take too much of your time. And you don't need to be blown out of your seats; you can just be a human being and watch this little journey and feel things. It has its own heartbeat, unlike anything else".[9]

The Guardian called the film "a Francophile fantasy" and "a whimsical French car chase".[10] The Upcoming gave the film 4 stars calling it "a perfect example of the kind of pleasant diversion one should seek during these trying times".[11]
