Leave your thoughts about Still the Water.
| Cinema ScopeMichael SicinskiDespite Naomi Kawase's claims prior to the film's world premiere at Cannes, Still the Water is not her masterpiece, and it's uncertain she will ever actually make one. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessKawase's imagery is haunting but oblique, resulting in a film that's beautiful to look at, but a tad baffling. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeAt times it's too schematic for its own good, but there's a musical quality which harmonises the script's rockier edges, and the use of diegetic song is powerful and engaging. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsIt's a film that takes an awfully long time to say not very much but, boy, is it beautifully shot. |
| Total FilmSimon KinnearAll the mystical-tree footage in the world can't lift the torpor. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirWhile the images chosen by the Japanese arthouse director Naomi Kawase are exquisite and arresting, the narrative is a dull, New Age meander. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsThis Japanese teen love story from Naomi Kawase is mired in emo histrionics and limp drama. |
| User ReviewPablo GThis is a visually ravishing film that showcases an effective coming of age romance which never feels forced or heavy handed and, features stunning underwater photography that match the poetic visuals and a traditional Japanese score. |
| User ReviewPaul DItâ??s like a haiku. The contemplative mood of the movie is executed perfectly. But I still feel that they should have not shown the graphic killing of the goat. Some highlights : the sing and dance part while one of the characters was about to die, and the underwater scene of the young lovers. |
