All Critics (35) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (8)

  • Somehow or other, form and intent mesh together utterly seamlessly.

    Donald Clarke

    Irish Times

  • It's not as focused as its predecessor, but its best sequences rehydrate the mind.

    Mike McCahill

    Guardian

  • Stand out scenes would work as well as stills in a photography book.

    Sophie Monks Kaufman

    Little White Lies

  • They've found a way of serving up these images without seeming callous or exploitative or preachy.

    May 1, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4

    John Hartl

    Seattle Times

  • Although the visuals are spectacular - a barren Colorado River looks like a landscape from a science-fiction epic - there's not much else here to grab on.

    Randy Cordova

    Arizona Republic

  • As in Manufactured Landscapes, the long shots of natural and man-made environments have a patterned, abstract beauty that often chafes against the ugly truth on the ground.

Audience Reviews for Watermark

  • Sep 03, 2013
    A film of images can often be not compelling but this film is striking in its portrayal of man's constant pressure on the watershed. It is an ongoing chronicle of an inevitable disaster.
