Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette singled out the performances of the four main child actors for praise, writing that "the four young actors playing the girls are all amazing, so good that you'll be forgiven for thinking Saint-Pierre actually went and cast real kids from the youth protection world, which she did not."[3]

The film premiered on August 24, 2012 at the Angoulême Film Festival,[4] before premiering commercially in January 2013.[5]

The film received five Jutra Award nominations at the 16th Jutra Awards in 2014, for Best Film, Best Supporting Actress (Paré), Best Screenplay (Saint-Pierre), Best Cinematography (Nathalie Moliavko-Visotzky) and Best Editing (Saint-Pierre).[6]
