Martin Kudlac of ''ScreenAnarchy'' wrote that despite the film being a "social allegory disguised as a coming-of-age tale imbued with the latent cringe cruelty of Todd Solondz's poetics", the film "works" as a "concentrated representation of the agony and confusion of growing up."<ref>{{cite web |url= https://screenanarchy.com/2022/08/locarno-2022-review-astrakan-social-allegory-disguised-as-coming-of-age-tale.html|title= Locarno 2022 Review: ASTRAKAN, Social Allegory Disguised As Coming-of-Age Tale|last= Kudlac|first= Martin|date= 25 August 2022|website= ScreenAnarchy|publisher= |access-date= 30 September 2022|quote=}}</ref>
