Review of Lady in the Water (2006) by Richard Corliss for Time — 10 May 2009
Lady doesn't work. Although he detonates a few terrific frissons involving the scrunt, the stabs at comedy are lurching and arrant. The spreading of tension from one character to many dilutes the mood.
The would-be rapturous Spielbergian ending is on the wussy side.
