Reviews
|
Total Film -
The film’s only let down by its too-frequent recourse to narrative cliché.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The film gives a lot of space to emotions, but Crowe reins in his outsized personality to contribute an affecting, understated performance and, as director, underplays the allegories, particularly the recurring water motif, so they seep through the narrative organically.
|
|
Screen International -
The Water Diviner is a heart-warming tale of family, love and sacrifice told with four-square enthusiasm and manliness by director and star Russell Crowe.
|
|
Movie Nation -
The performances are moving and get the job done, and Kurylenko (“Quantum of Solace”) wins us over by the way she slowly lets Connor, her enemy, win her sympathy.

|
The Guardian -
A handsome crowdpleaser with a big heart.
