Reviews

Variety -
Despite the staggering range of material Watermark manages to present — Burtynsky’s five-year undertaking is certainly the most encompassing survey any one artist has ever dedicated to the subject — it’s still just the tip of the metaphorical iceberg.

Los Angeles Times -
If Watermark does nothing else, it will make you question society's contradictory view of water use.
|
|
The New York Times -
Always arresting and sometimes troubling, Watermark — aside from the odd comment here and there — neither lectures nor argues.
|
|
Wall Street Journal -
Here's a case of images in the service of important ideas, rather than entertainment, yet they could hardly be more powerful, from roaring torrents released by a dam in China to a lyrical helicopter shot of a glistening river in British Columbia.

Slant Magazine -
By keeping explanatory talking-heads interviews to a minimum, the filmmakers put their trust in the audience to draw their own conclusions based on what they present to us.
