Moves at the pace of a glacier, and unfortunately feels just as cold. Sara Dosa’s anticipated follow-up to ‘Fire of Love’ is ultimately a major snooze about ice loss that struggles to thaw. Go to Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine 4h
Time and Water finds a fitting counterpoint to the bravura visuals and adrenaline-rush of Fire of Love as these images invite audiences to pause, consider the passage of time, and experience an elegiac sense of loss. Go to Full Review Dan Mecca The Film Stage 5h
Time and Water is framed as a time capsule to be discovered by whoever survives the great, tragic changes to come. Dosa is a master of tone in the documentary space. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
