Last Call at the Oasis Ratings & Reviews
IONCINEMA.com
Jordan M. Smith
Yu's highly important film is a wake up call, and it does so with deafening facts and striking focus.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Last Call At The Oasis may open some eyes and spark some debate on this very serious and frightening issue of water, but sadly, will undoubtedly quickly lose its audience due to over-reaching insuffiency.
Big Hollywood
John Hanlon
A thoughtful but over-stuffed documentary that grazes over a lot of big issues.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
One of the scariest Outrage Docs.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Last Call at the Oasis" represents nonfiction filmmaking at its most urgent, timely and stylistically smooth.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
It's an important documentary that should be seen by all, even if it's only just firing an initial warning shot across our collective, water-consuming bow. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
One can argue the movie's finer points, but in the end, there's no escaping its creeping pile-up of evidence that Mother Earth is critically dehydrated - and we need to do something, fast.
Movies.com
Christopher Campbell
Jam-packed with information-filled narratives ... the doc is commended for circumventing fearmongering in favor of engagement and encouragement.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The film is passionate and insightful about its topic, and not just intended as some sort of cheap scare tactic.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Yu ends on a mildly optimistic note, but it's hard not to walk away convinced we're all in for a rather severe dry spell.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Ms. Yu, who has directed scripted television episodes as well as documentaries, wraps a lot of bad news into a slick, informative, fast-moving package.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
Presents one side of the question and assumes it is incontrovertible. In reality, this is preaching to the choir, and it is doubtful that unbelievers are proselytized.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
[It] may be slick enough to reach people who aren't already familiar with such substances as "new water," atrazine and hexavalent chromium.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
Last Call at the Oasis has more than the usual share of gloom, though it's too steady with the facts to ever come across as alarmist - and some of its imagery is downright haunting.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
It may not all flow smoothly, but it often provokes a reaction similar to that of Jack Black, who's briefly seen doing a commercial and whose eyebrows dance a salsa when told what's been purified out of the product he's endorsing.
Moving Pictures Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
Startling statistics and memorable personalities that leave a distressing impression--if not complete understanding--of the decline of the world's water supply.
AV Club
Sam Adams
It's true that Americans contribute disproportionately to the problem, but catering to the idea that we're separate from the rest of the world isn't part of the solution.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
A many-lensed look at the coming water-supply crisis.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Both an informative bit of agitprop and an ultra slick and slightly self-satisfied bit of entertainment.
Variety
John Anderson
Whether the glass is half full or half empty isn't the point of the effervescent Last Call at the Oasis: It's whether there'll be anything in the glass at all.
