Critical reception
Jay Weissberg from Variety wrote: "Sex Life of Plants maintains an atmosphere of hesitant expectation in which details may be left unspoken, yet psychological depth is satisfyingly pushed to the fore." Diego Brodersen from Página 12 highlights the performance of Francisca Lewin, since her acting work brings subtlety and ambiguity to a film that could easily have decided to be more explicit in terms of its content.
