Horrifying, necessary, and engrossing, "Dark Waters" is a well-acted investigative film that delivers a startling rebuke against corporate malfeasance.

Interesting story of how evil and soulless large companies can be to make profit.

When done correctly, average movies like this can inform, intrigue, and alarm, allowing the audience a better chance at a perspective they'd not considered before. "Dark Waters," though, is simply not your average investigative thriller.When done correctly, average movies like this can inform, intrigue, and alarm, allowing the audience a better chance at a perspective they'd not considered before. "Dark Waters," though, is simply not your average investigative thriller. There's a kernel of truth at the center of this story that's so damning and vile, it would take a real class "F" filmmaker to mess up the translation and impact of what's important here. That's not to say director Todd Haynes's presence is never felt. He simply knows that the mere existentiality of this story itself is all the audience needs to stay in their seats. Whereas in other, lesser films you'd be informed. Here, you're upended. Instead of being intrigued, here, you're spellbound. Horrified instead of alarmed. And as far as widened perspectives are concerned? How about trying a major paradigm shift on for size in the form of this harrowing cinematic treatise on unchecked power, the pursuit for truth, and the tragic, infrastructural downward spiral taking place in so many parts of the American Rust Belt. Perhaps I'm just ridiculously uninformed, but I was utterly floored upon finishing this movie. It's an absolute feat for the subgenre, and one that should be seen by all.… Expand

Absolutely a must see! Great acting, and a great job done! Rob Billott is an amazing attorney and should be a household name for the courage he had to do what he did!

"Dark Waters" had my attention wrapped from beginning to end. Most respected critics agree with me. The impossibly courageous and steadfast REAL life hero Rob Billet forces us to face the truth without distraction, glamour or pretense. His humility, humanity, and heart are astonishing. He is a rare and genuine hero in this age of Narcissism and climate crisis. In our age of superficial "looking away" from the truth, anxiety and despair this film busts down all the inclinations to hide. I am also surprised by the reviewer missing the artistry of the film. The blue grey coldness that seeps into the shots reflects the insidious corporate crimes making their way into the flesh and bones of the victims. Haynes brilliantly represents the tragedy of bodies and the earth ravaged by industry and corporate greed. This film shows how the consumer and the victims of environmental pollution (mainly farmers and the poor) are abused and hurt by corporate greed. It is an astonishing portrait of courage and perseverance. Showing us that we can indeed overcome evil if we care enough to wake up and try. I give dark waters an "A". The reviewer missed it completely.… Expand

The fact that this movie is based on a true story is it's main strength. If it wasn't, the movie would be pretty much average. Mark Ruffalo does a great job.

Despite some occasional tendencies toward being formulaic, director Todd Haynes's new fact-based thriller explores the efforts of a determined community, led by a courageous and ethical attorney, to take on a major chemical corporation hidingDespite some occasional tendencies toward being formulaic, director Todd Haynes's new fact-based thriller explores the efforts of a determined community, led by a courageous and ethical attorney, to take on a major chemical corporation hiding the dangers of its products and all of the fallout that comes with it. The film's excellent script does a fine job explaining the complex litigious questions involved, detailing the implications of the crusaders' actions without resorting to jargon or unfathomable legalese. Then there are the superb performances of Mark Ruffalo as the heroic lawyer and Bill Camp as his outraged and victimized client. This is an important story, one that's well told and doesn't hold anything back, a tale that should inspire us all to action when it comes to tragedies such as this.… Expand

Movies like this are primarily educational, if well acted and produced then are naturally must see. A pretty big case of pollution by DuPont, very briefly touching on the inadequacy and corruption of the EPA.

Excellent acting and pacing. Honestly thought it was better than Spotlight, which this movie parallels quite often. Learned quite a lot about an issue I haven't heard much about

A very eye opening movie that succeeds in delivering emotional moments and shocking information. The acting may land successfully on its feet, but the story carries the acting to the finishing line.
