While the images chosen by the Japanese arthouse director Naomi Kawase are exquisite and arresting, the narrative is a dull, New Age meander. Jul 2, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Enigmatic, exotic, erotic: three adjectives commonly bandied about in discussion about Naomi Kawase's films. Not for her latest outing, though. Jan 9, 2015 | Full Review…

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. Jan 9, 2015 | Full Review…

Kawase tackles these large-scale motifs with a calm, zen-like approach, making Still the Water a pleasant viewing experience. Jun 14, 2019 | Rating: 7.2/10 | Full Review…

Despite Naomi Kawase's claims prior to the film's world premiere at Cannes, Still the Water is not her masterpiece, and it's uncertain she will ever actually make one. Nov 21, 2017 | Full Review…

Still the Water has its shortcomings, but redundancy is not one, and while it may not be profound, it is far from simple. Mar 12, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Kawase's imagery is haunting but oblique, resulting in a film that's beautiful to look at, but a tad baffling. Jul 6, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. Jul 5, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
