Critic Reviews

This beautiful and urgent eco-doc takes a bite out of the shark mythology made indelible by "Jaws."Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Stewart's documentary is seldom less than compelling in its quest to raise international awareness about a situation that is threatening to put sharks on the endangered list.Full Review

Michael Rechtshaffen
The Hollywood Reporter

Undersea photographer Rob Stewart, who directed, wrote, narrated, stars in, and helped shoot Sharkwater, really, really loves sharks. He also fears for their future on the planet. His lively documentary makes you see why, on both counts.Full Review

Mark Feeney
Boston Globe

As an eco-political inquiry, the film is compelling even if its grounding in scientific fact could be more solid.Full Review

David Rooney
Variety

Mr. Stewart dilutes the movie’s urgency by framing the subject within a “personal journey” format and selling himself as a hunky, sensitive martyr.Full Review
