Diana Sánchez, artistic director of the Panama International Film Festival, stated that the film is "a lovely and heartfelt exploration of love and friendship. Beautifully shot, the film demonstrates Hernández’s versatility and progression as a filmmaker. The scenes of the skateboarders in Mexico City, for instance, are kinetic and feel very realistic”. According to the director, he tried to mix documentary, fiction and film noir, with the film showing "the innocence of youth and the moments you try to play the bad guy, the criminal, but you are not really that kind of character". Te Prometo Anarquía won one part of a split prize at the 2015 Panamá International Film Festival, where it received US$20,000 dollars to pay post production fees; the rest of the prize (US$5,000 dollars) was awarded to Costa Rica's El Sonido de las Cosas ("The Sound of Things"), directed by Ariel Escalante.
Reception
The film was named "The Best Mexican Film of 2015" by Fernanda Solórzano of Letras Libres.
