One month after its release, the film was already the highest grossing Italian movie post-pandemic.
Most successful 2023 release at the Italian box office, beating Barbie (2023) and Oppenheimer (2023).
In his review, Screen International critic Allan Hunter paired the film to the classic Italian neorealism cinema, and described it as "an unashamed, old-fashioned melodrama [which] develops into a more considered tale of small victories on the road to female empowerment."
The film won three prizes at the Rome Film Festival and was the most successful film at the box office in its opening week.
