Dark Waters - Reviews

...a dense, angry drama about the horrifying health effects of corporate negligence...

For all its patience and droll humor, this is an angry movie, rightly so.

It's a rare film that not only makes you feel sorry for corporate lawyers, but even has you rooting for them, yet 'Dark Waters' pulls off that miracle.

..what it lacks in octane, 'Dark Waters' makes up for in both sturdiness and substance...

It’s a procedural, and all the fascination is in the detail...

Todd Haynes’s thriller fizzes with righteous fury.

...this essential drama feels starker and truer than most; it's patient, unafraid, and stripped of any kind of hollow self-congratulations.

...gripping procedural drama.

Ruffalo’s passion project is a didactic tale of corporate malfeasance, but its environmental concerns have a profound sense of purpose.

Dark Waters is a legal thriller that’s really the best of its kind since Erin Brockovich and the criminally underrated A Civil Action.

True to its title, this is a murky pool of a movie, and Mark Ruffalo is the man on the bank, poking its surface with a stick.

...Mark Ruffalo. He’s a champion at playing guys who prove slow and steady wins the race.

...et pragteksempel på, hvordan filmmediet kan stille skarpt på en brændende vigtig problematik, som hurtigt ville have fortabt sig i dagens mediebillede.
