The Drowning Ratings & Reviews
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The performances help to create some tension if you can buy the outlandish premise, although the character motives remain cloudy and the contrived third-act twists keep the payoff at a frustrating emotional distance.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The whole affair is a head-scratcher of bloody-scalp proportions.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The movie is a prime specimen of "the paranoid style."
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
The Drowning is a film of small, visceral pleasures-its ambiguity is absolutely delicious-but most of its weight rests on Charles.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Gordon is not out of her depth. She knows exactly that she's doing. Working with a story that could easily have become confused, she delivers something powerful.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Despite the wildly uneven plotting, Gordon's atmospheric direction in coastal New London propels the drama, as does her sensitivity to what remains unspoken between people.
Village Voice
Kenji Fujishima
The deeper Tom wades into this psychological morass, the more Danny's volatile behavior seems dictated by the screenwriters' convenience rather than by any plausible depiction of a tortured mind.
Film Journal International
André Hereford
Josh Charles and Julia Stiles star in a stiff psychological thriller beset by serious lapses in logic.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
An obnoxious story about revenge and self-destruction that throws together a bunch of hackneyed observations about humanity.
Brooklyn Magazine
Jonathan Stevenson
tackles the weighty themes of voyeurism, altruism, and self-preservation artfully and inventively, subverting clichs and taking the genre in a refreshing direction
Variety
Jessica Kiang
The film's biggest surprise may come when the credits roll to reveal that this almost perfectly bland, low-intensity mystery is directed by New York indie scene veteran Bette Gordon.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Distinguishes itself by applying a depth of psychological observation that yields a genuinely unsettling vision.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
If there's anything worth mulling over about The Drowning, it's the way it proffers the East Coast couple as an inevitably miserable institution without really meaning to.
