Reception

Francine Laurendeau from Le Devoir writes "Étonnante surtout cette vision du cméma å travers la bande sonore. Car The Footstep Man est d'abord une réflexion sur l'importance de la bande sonore et sur la sédursante tricherie qu'elle constitue.". The Canberra Times' Dougal McDonald says "It's a good story which Narbey handles well". Mark Tierney, writing in Listener, says "The Footstep Man is a difficult film. Its tone of cramped despair is rarely alleviated."
