The film received generally positive reviews. A review states: "An interesting case of a belated “director’s cut” Bad Film is necessarily an imperfect beast, but perhaps all the more interesting for it." The message the film may convey, however, has been considered unclear: "This movie has some things to tell us about prejudice and xenophobia, but it's hard to say exactly what those things are. Instead, consider it a treat to just let the waves of meaningful nonsense crash over you and go along for the ride."
