Held Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
While I understand the anger that animates Awbrey's script, anger doesn't excuse its overall weak argumentation, not to mention its rampant plot holes.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
In a movie world that often feels bereft of ideas, their problem is they have a few too many.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The film doesn't quite cut to the heart of the socially nurtured fantasies that splinter men from women.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This trapped-in-a-house flick starts off well, with genuine suspense and strong characters, but it derails after a sudden turn, leaving its major theme disappointingly unexplored.

Jackie K. Cooper
A couple is held captive by a house and an ominous presence. Good premise but it all goes downhill with sloppy writing being the main problem.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
The screenplay has social-commentary ambitions, but the directors can't shake the stench of bargain-bin imitation that clings to the whole thing.
Next Best Picture
Dan Bayer
All of the credit must be paid to Cluff and Lofing, who make the most of what they have at their disposal... But until they get better with actors, their films will, unfortunately, remain interesting coulda-beens.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
It's got some some obvious and pedantic ideas about gender roles and relationships, but it's got some twists and it kept me on my toes.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Given what it's about, "Held" could've cut much deeper. Instead, it barely breaks the surface.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Cannily exploiting #MeToo themes and the opportunities for cinematic mayhem provided by technology-driven smart homes, Held proves an uncommonly thoughtful and provocative suspenser.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... generates mild tension during its deliberately paced buildup, then following a big reveal, squanders its premise by settling for a lackluster payoff that leaves more questions than answers.
In Review Online
Steven Warner
The idea itself isn't terrible, but Cluff, Lofing, and Awbrey have no idea how to execute it in any sort of way that is enlightening or satisfying.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The filmmakers of Held must think that viewers are as simple-minded as this movie's mystery plot. The acting is often stiff, the pacing is frequently lackluster, and it's not that hard to figure out who's behind the terror that's being inflicted.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This may sound satirical, but the mashup of Demon Seed and Saw is pretty humorless, even more so when it begins to add heavy-handed elements from The Stepford Wives and The Handmaid's Tale.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
This is an interesting take on sexual and social politics, on change, manipulation and integrity.
Pajiba
Lindsay Traves
Held has some solid tension and compelling themes that could have made for something to talk about, but it all gets lost in its confusing twist on The Stepford Wives.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The core idea of Held ... is anything but conventional. The movie's approach to that idea, though, is completely routine.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Despite being far less gory, an adherence to the tropes of the "torture porn" formula makes the film feel about fifteen years beyond its sell-by date.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
Equal parts "Vacancy" meets "The Strangers," "Held" takes a generic premise and spices it up with an engaging twist, salvaging an otherwise poorly acted venture into a tangible piece of mindless entertainment.
