Reception
[edit]Critical reception
[edit]Paula Bustamante from Bitácora de Cine favorably criticizes the film's story, which becomes very crude, but there are moments very well achieved for acid humor, managing to move the viewer.[10] Ana Catalina Castillo from Culturizarte highlights the film's ability to make the viewer identify with the main character, although it can become overexplanatory at times.[11] Carolina Benavente from El Agente Cine wrote: "(Im)patient is suggestive and accomplished, serious and playful at the same time, with few potholes that betray a kind of craftsmanship linked to what has already been described."[12]
