Critic Reviews for Still the Water

All Critics (19) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (9)

  • At times it's too schematic for its own good, but there's a musical quality which harmonises the script's rockier edges, and the use of diegetic song is powerful and engaging.

    Mark Kermode

    Observer (UK)

  • While the images chosen by the Japanese arthouse director Naomi Kawase are exquisite and arresting, the narrative is a dull, New Age meander.

    July 2, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    Kate Muir

    Times (UK)

  • This Japanese teen love story from Naomi Kawase is mired in emo histrionics and limp drama.

    July 2, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    David Jenkins

    Little White Lies

  • While beautiful, early scenes of shocking violence give way to philosophising and gauche symbolism.

    June 29, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    David Parkinson

    Empire Magazine

  • Enigmatic, exotic, erotic: three adjectives commonly bandied about in discussion about Naomi Kawase's films. Not for her latest outing, though.

    Clarence Tsui

    Hollywood Reporter

  • It's clear that Japanese director Naomi Kawase has poured her heart and soul into every frame of this wishy-washy drama... That makes it all the more depressing that the end results are so resoundingly uninvolving and off-putting.
