Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The film transcends its B-movie template with realistic performances and taut direction, yet never spares the thrills.

fresh:
The best thing about it is its star, P.J. Boudousque, who locates a sense of terror and betrayal that the script lacks.

rotten:
A punishing, predictable drama that's almost rescued by strong acting and good intentions.

rotten:
There's a compelling, perhaps important thriller to be made about dark doings at for-profit juvenile detention camps, but "Coldwater" misses the mark.

rotten:
Grashaw effectively charts the unhealthy power dynamics, though he seems still to be finding his way at conceiving characters, directing actors, and establishing tone.
