Quite possibly the best picture of the year thus far, with no fewer than three of the most luminous female performances I have ever seen onscreen. July 19, 2006

Mehta prevailed, and this scandalous, beautiful and very moving tale of repression, hope and a tragedy is her triumph, and Hindu India's shame. July 7, 2006 | Rating: 5/5

Unfolds with the clean, simple lines of a fairy tale, and if the characters initially seem to be too black-or-white to be believable, the moral complexity of the story reveals itself in a gradual, subtle manner. May 19, 2006 | Rating: 3/4

Reminds us that Mehta is a filmmaker of courage -- she refused to abandon this film even after fundamentalist protestors shut down the production in India -- and singular style, telling stories that have never been told on screen. May 12, 2006 | Rating: 3/4

In the end, Water is too much of a compromise. A compromise between, perhaps, shocking the West with the subject matter - a eight-year-old widow! - and going for a popular Indian audience who will demand Bollywood romance. August 22, 2018 | Full Review…
