Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 10/10 by David DenbyOne of the most eloquent records we have of a tragedy that brought out some of the most impressively alive men and women in New Orleans.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Bill GibronBy picking up on this personal story and serving it up in a way that plays commentator, not critic, the filmmakers allows Kim and Scott to speak for themselves. The results are astoundingly brutal and beautifully honest.
ViewLondon - 10/10 by Matthew TurnerRiveting, emotionally engaging and frequently astonishing documentary that tells an important story and will make you laugh, cry and seethe with rage.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Michael AbernethyTrouble the Water reveals not only the terrors of the hurricane but also the political and personal valences of its legendary mismanagement.
Film-Forward.com - 10/10 by Nora Lee MandelFor the 3rd anniversary of Katrina comes a gripping point of view about the disaster and its continuing impact on the people of New Orleans that has not been seen before.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt's a view of the disaster that no amount of news coverage would ever manage to capture.
Time Out - 10/10 by David FearTrouble the Water's political-made-personal power to invoke both Anderson Cooper levels of rage and the sense that hope springs eternal rests solely with its main subjects.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirIf possible, Roberts' movie-within-a-movie is even more amazing than it sounds. She captures a tale of courage, heroism and tragedy more thrilling than any Hollywood spectacle.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by Peter RainerA marvelous documentary that brings home the terror and heroism brought forth by the Katrina debacle.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael PhillipsTrouble the Water is so much better and truer and deeper and more illuminating than either of them ("Bowling for Columbine"/"Fahrenheit 9/11").
