The flick has been praised by film critics at the 77th Venice International Film Festival in Italy, where it received the FIPRESCI award of the event.
‘The Wasteland’ has recently been screened at the 2020 annual Tokyo International Film Festival in Japan and the 2020 Stockholm International Film Festival in Sweden.
