Critic Reviews

If the ultimate goal is entertainment, then Lady in the Water enthusiastically rises to the task. In a movie laden with enough symbolism, shamanism and mythic lore to make Joseph Campbell dance a tribal jig, Shyamalan never forgets to have fun.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

There is a good chunk of Lady in the Water that is simply too well made and affectingly acted to dismiss as a mere exercise in arrogance.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

Shyamalan does project genuine menace and suspense into this mundane location, especially in nighttime scenes. But the magic that would transport you from reality into fantasy is missing.Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter

The character played by lead Paul Giamatti is a dead-on Shyamalan protagonist: emotionally distanced and something of a train wreck.Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

Has the strengths and weaknesses of a one-man show.Full Review
