Ein außergewöhnlicher Film mit existentialistischen Untertönen, prägnant inszeniert. (Tip Berlin)
Visually arresting, Halfmoon captures the necromancy of Bowles’ prose. Schlaich and von Alberti proceed lovingly, even reverentially, letting the locales and their fine actors transport viewers. Halfmoon journeys to a faraway place, wreathed with dust and heat. (Los Angeles View, 1996)
Together the three stories capture the essence of Mr. Bowles’s vision of human cruelty as a driving life force indivisible from the harsh equatorial landscapes in which his characters find themselves. (The New York Times, 1996)
