“El filme es propositivo, esconde en sus juegos escénicos y rupturas ficcionales la esencia que subyace a la trama: la literatura y el teatro como vías de rehumanización sin perder ese motivo, ese brillo que impulsa a cada uno a vivir el día a día”.
— Aurora Alejandra Lomelí Pérez: Rodando Cine

“El brillo de los días brilla principalmente en sus diálogos y en la química entres sus dos personajes principales”.
— Domenico La Porta: Cineuropa

“Un retrato de las vidas que se viven en asilamiento y soledad (. . .) para Covi y Frimmel, no es en los encuentros dramáticos en los que se desarrollan sus personajes, sino en los momentos improvisados de conversación y gestos inesperados”.
— Andrew Schenker: Slant Magazine
