== Reception == Jonathan Holland of ''The Hollywood Reporter'' stressed as a bottom line that "Juana Acosta is the heart and soul of this rangy but only occasionally powerful revenge yarn".<ref name="holland">{{Cite web|website=The Hollywood Reporter|first=Jonathan|last=Holland|title=‘Breathless Time’ (‘Tiempo Sin Aire’): Film Review|date=28 May 2015|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/breathless-time-tiempo-sin-aire-798295/}}</ref>
Sergio F. Pinilla of ''Cinemanía'' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that the film is split "in two unequal blocks, [respectively] starring the solvent Juana Acosta and a blurred Carmelo Gómez".<ref>{{Cite web|website=Cinemanía|via=20minutos.es|date=27 April 2015|first=Sergio F.|last=Pinilla|url=https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/criticas/tiempo-sin-aire-35412/|title=Tiempo sin aire}}</ref>
