Reception
In Variety, reviewer Alissa Simon found the film "an earnest but engaging social-issue drama", and commented, "its condensed framework and beaucoup dialogue make the pic resemble a classic three-act play."

In Le Soleil, reviewer Éric Moreault found that the film was full of good intentions but lacked dramatic tension and plausibility.

Awards and accolades
At the 2015 Vancouver International Film Festival, the Canadian Images features jury gave Boileau an honourable mention in the Emerging Canadian Director category for Le Dep.

At the 2015 American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco, Ringuette won the best actress award for her performance in Le Dep (she had previously won the same award in 2012 for the film Mesnak).
