Clarence Tsui Hollywood Reporter Diaz has yet to swap art for arms in order to bring change to his society. But the fire still burns brightly within him, it seems. May 25, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Devoted Diaz fans will find it a satisfying venture into somewhat new territory. May 23, 2019 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online Like all of Diaz's work, The Halt manages to be both minimalist and maximalist simultaneously, a tension that energizes the film through some of its slower passages. Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Hayden Welch Film Inquiry Diaz takes inherently political issues and turns them into a more humanist dilemma as opposed to a leftist plight, and in doing so he makes it more universally appreciative. The Halt is a unique and essential experience. May 18, 2021 Full Review Alonso Díaz de la Vega El Universal The tone is uneven and the reflection about the theme somewhat superficial for the long duration of the film. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Jaime Pena Caimán Cuadernos de Cine The Halt's best moments are at the end, when it enters the streets and sided with those children who are the first propitiatory victims of the tyrants of the day and the environmental disasters.
