It's really terrible and horrifying to see the plight of widows in 19th century India. Nice performances by Seema Biswas, Lisa Ray and the small girl…

I found adorable the little Chuyia. Water is synonymous of woman, destiny, tragedy, tears, purity and renovation. And hope, of course…

A deep and profound lesson in India's horrible past treatment of child bride widows that is still sadly part of its present in some areas…

One of the most beautifully poetic and tragic films I've ever seen... Fucking sweet film…

Review of Water (2012)

By Annemette H (7) on 01 Dec 2010

I was not aware the conditions widows in India had to face and are still doing so. Being condemned to such a life, because religion says so…

Review of Water (2012)

An amazing look into the lives of Indian women who are widows and how they are forced to live in their culture where they are deemed untouchables…

Review of Long-Term Relationship (2006)

By David Cornelius (645) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 21 Nov 2007

Finishes with such clichéd romcom trappings that you might as well dump Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant into the darn thing…

Review of What It Was (2014)

By Kiko Martinez (245) for San Antonio Current (241) on 26 Jan 2018

The drama is formless and a bit sappy at times, but director/writer Daniel Armando's poetic sensibility and tenderness...elevate it just enough…
