Critics' reviews

"A feel-good movie and a feel-disturbed movie at the same time (...)Todd Haynes has made the first corporate thriller that’s a call to action because you’ll emerge from it feeling anything but safe."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"Restraining himself throughout from getting fancy or experimental, Haynes has intently devoted himself to the story and his actors, with strong, unshowy work that ideally serves the tale being told"

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"The most conventional directing effort in Haynes’ career (...) a 20-year-old drama that extends into the present, and as environmental concerns continue to escalate, it couldn’t feel more contemporary"

Eric Kohn: IndieWire
"A movie that is anything but the same old legal thriller (...) What makes it a Haynes film is something intangible and mysterious (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Haynes does a terrific job conveying the depression and hopelessness that comes with taking on sick, greedy, inhumane, Earth-devouring institutions"

Luke Hicks: The Playlist
"It’s exceedingly well executed and technically impeccable, with precisely shot (by Edward Lachman), near-abstract, dehumanized cityscapes (...) The movie slides into banality"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"What the hell is Todd Haynes doing behind the camera of generic docudrama Dark Waters?"

Mike D'Angelo: AV Club
