==Reception==
Neil Young of ''[Screen Daily](/source/Screen_Daily)'' called the film an "engrossing exercise in empathetic humanism, unhurried and uninflected".<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/astrakan-locarno-review/5173309.article|title= 'Astrakan': Locarno Review|last= Young|first= Neil|date= 9 August 2022|website= [Screen Daily](/source/Screen_Daily)|publisher= |access-date= 30 September 2022|quote=}}</ref>

Georgia Del Don of ''Cineuropa'' wrote that the film is "far more" than a "precise account of the ambiguous and vertiginous time marking the transition from childhood to adolescence."<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/428716/|title= Review: Astrakan|last= Del Don|first= Georgia|date= 11 August 2022|website= Cineuropa|publisher= |access-date= 30 September 2022|quote=}}</ref>

Martin Kudlac of ''[ScreenAnarchy](/source/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](/source/ScreenAnarchy)|publisher= |access-date= 30 September 2022|quote=}}</ref>
