Salina's film might have been stronger had it not tried to cover so many water-related issues. But there's no denying its power.

Reviews for Flow: For Love of Water
One thing is for sure: after you watch Flow, you'll think about that next glass of water you drink or that next shower or bath you have and not take either of them for granted.

Flow is the kind of terrifying, impending-apocalypse documentary none of us wants to watch but all of us probably should; it isn’t the most enjoyable experience you’ll have at the movies this year, but I wouldn’t doubt if it’s one of the most eye-opening.

Flow makes the case against the privatization of water, which is happening in gazillions of impoverished communities around the world, not to mention North American backyards.

Top CriticFar too much of the film indulges in the sort of shrill alarmism that gives environmentalism a bad name.
10/09/08
When filmmaker Irena Salina does marshal the facts, Flow is an eye-opening, troubling 90 minutes that makes us think twice about an element we take for granted.
09/26/08
this is a film that trickles instead of roars.

You'll never want to buy a bottle of water again after seeing this essential documentary about the blatant theft being committed by companies like Nestle that have helped make water the third biggest global industry behind electricity and oil.
09/21/08
Salina's film is a very effective primer of an underreported problem. If nothing else, it made me thirsty.
09/19/08
...astonishing in the amount of information packed into its lean ninety-three minute running time...enthralling (and frightening!) to listen to.
09/15/08
An enlightening documentary about the global war over water and the progress being made by activists against multinational corporations and their campaign of privatization.
09/13/08
Offers up a call-to-arms against bottled water conglomerates that, in its structural sloppiness, feels like a high school student's tossed-off research paper.
09/12/08
I have already stopping buying a bottle a day to bring to the office.
09/12/08
Irena Salina's astonishingly wide-ranging film is less depressing than galvanizing, an informed and heartfelt examination of the tug of war between public health and private interests.
09/12/08
Top Critic"Flow" critiques the commodification of water, which has resulted in increased global inequities.
09/12/08
The argument presented in 'Flow' is hardly one to disagree with, but the movie still falls into the self-defeating pattern of the genre as practiced now.
09/11/08
This documentary finds a good balance between terrifying statistics, depressing images, talking heads, and hopeful suggestions.
09/11/08
Touching on everything from the cost citizens of poor countries pay for water to corporate hoodwinking in the bottled-water business, Flow makes you thirsty for more information
09/11/08
Grim but ultimately hopeful, Flow makes a convincing, impassioned case that concerned citizens need to fight for the right to clean water just as assiduously as Yauch and his Beastie compatriots once demanded the right to party.
09/11/08
One of those charming little documentaries that make you question whether the human race is really worth preserving.
