Lady In The Water | Ratings & Reviews

"A ponderous, self-indulgent bedtime tale. Awkwardly positioned, this gloomy thic fantasy falls well short of horror... Vindication is rarely as swift or complete as that likely awaiting the Disney execs who passed on M. Night Shyamalan's latest effort "Lady in the Water." After Disney balked, the director carted the project to Burbank neighbor Warner Bros., then lambasted his former studio for a lack of vision in a tie-in, tell-some book. Disney's misgivings were well founded, as Shyamalan has followed "The Village" with another disappointment..."

"If the ultimate goal is entertainment, then it enthusiastically rises to the task. In a movie laden with symbolism, shamanism and mythic, Shyamalan never forgets to have fun..."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"Has the strengths and weaknesses of a one-man show... That a movie so riddled with relentless plot explanation can work as well as this one does comes as a revelation..."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"An unconvincing myth that lacks the Shyamalan magic..."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"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..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Utterly lacking in the thrills and chills that Shyamalan made his name with, this feeble fable may prove to be his Waterloo, or should that be his Waterworld? Whatever you do this weekend: Don't go into the water..."

"The film is a rogue hunk of hooey..."
