Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's a brave endeavour, held together by Robert Elswit's poetic photography, and by Irons' authoritative impression of the crumbling desperation behind the chalk-dusted facade of a pensive history man.

The strange fact about "Waterland" is the way the performances and the dialogue are worthier than the story itself.

rotten:
A talented but terminally parched piece of literary cinema.
