	Author	Review
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"The superlatively lame dialogue spoken by the heroines (...) threatens to turn this would-be horror movie into a hoot (...) [It] struggles to extract tension from clamor and agitation."	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"Roberts's film can't help alternating between the genuinely terrifying and the just plain dumb. Even the conclusion (...) is needlessly complicated (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A formulaic but effective thriller (...) A compact and sturdily crafted B-movie that generates enough scares and suspense to qualify as — well, maybe not a pleasant surprise, but a reasonably entertaining one."	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"'47 Meters Down' works just fine (...) The CGI-rendered sharks are surprisingly convincing, and Holt and Moore do an excellent job"	POS
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"The movie’s third act takes an abrupt swerve in a less plausible, more heightened direction (...) [It] gets the job done"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"B-movies wouldn’t exist without dumb people making dumb decisions (...) As far as cheap warm-weather junk food goes, it will suffice. It will have to."	NEU
United States	Michael Nordine IndieWire	"'47 Meters Down' sinks rather than swims, even if there are a few buoyant moments along the way"	NEG
United States	New York Daily News	"What unfolds is a smart, tense nail-biter that’s bound to leave some clinging to the shoreline this summer (...) The film rises above its late-in-the-game flaws (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kimber Myers The Playlist	"Dumber than a bucket of chum (...) Not only does the screenplay think that Lisa and Kate are stupid, it treats its audience as though they’re on the same level of intelligence"	NEG
