The trailer which is 2 minutes and 10 seconds long syncs up with what's written above. Apart from this trailer, a select few got a taste of what When No One Sees Us is like at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in September 2024. In that festival, 12 minutes of the first episode was released. Variety's John Hopewell described the footage as:

“Pure cinema of the first order”.

In the same Variety review, Hopewell continued:

"Shots shown at San Sebastián are carefully composed, full of background detail in the procession crowd scenes, suggesting a high-end budget. They can surprise, such as a shot inside the box and penitents carrying the statue of the Virgin, moving over their heads. There’s little hand-held on-the-fly camerawork. Exteriors are lit by the luminous light of Andalusia, set against a pellucid blue sky."
