Patiently constructed and beautifully filmed, Aquarela views man's relationship with water through a sobering -- and awe-inducing -- lens.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

It's a pretty interesting nature documentary as far as it goes. But given its globe-trotting scope and the risky location work involved for the filmmakers, it's a tiny bit strange "Aquarela" goes only so far. Aug 29, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Without any narration or talking heads, Kossakovsky's cinematic globe-trotting documentary dazzles us with doom. Aug 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Even at 89 minutes, the film seems too long. Kossakovsky just seems to want us to admire his footage, and that's about it. It becomes monotonous. Aug 21, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Despite these occasional moments of tedium, however, the film is at once chilling and likely to make your blood boil. Aug 19, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Eco-documentary on H20 in the age of climate change - from crumbling icebergs to chaotic hurricanes - is both gorgeous and terrifying. The shape of water, indeed. Aug 17, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A display of singular cinematography, with long, entrancing shots that lend it a mesmerizing quality - and help make it one of the most beautifully shot films of the year. Oct 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Nature's sound and fury become the lone reasons to see and maybe embrace it and, even at less than 90 minutes, such relentless imagery feels like a lot of watching. Sep 28, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Some of this is spectacular, some beautiful. But isn't this lazy documentary-making? How about some insight, some perspective? Sep 26, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a frightening, galvanizing, awe-inspiring 90 minutes in which water and water alone is the main character. Sep 26, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The footage often surprises, enough to make viewers jump upright in their seats. At other times, though, it's like an oversized screensaver, calming and hypnotic. Sep 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
