"You'll never want to buy a bottle of water again after seeing this essential documentary about the blatant theft being committed by companies like Nestle that have helped make water the third biggest global industry behind electricity and oil."

PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
B-
"Educational polemical documentary."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"The argument presented in 'Flow' is hardly one to disagree with, but the movie still falls into the self-defeating pattern of the genre as practiced now."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
3/4
"The inconvenient truth at the center of
Flow: For Love of Water
is that while the oil crisis is intensely debated and documented, disasters involving an even more essential fluid go perilously unnoticed."
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
2.5/4
"Although meandering at times,
Flow
is still a serviceable documentary spouting daunting informational facts and figures about the freshwater supply threats and the perilous consequences that inevitably follow."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng

B+
"...astonishing in the amount of information packed into its lean ninety-three minute running time...enthralling (and frightening!) to listen to."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"You may never buy bottled water again after this."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
B+
"This documentary finds a good balance between terrifying statistics, depressing images, talking heads, and hopeful suggestions."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
"Offers up a call-to-arms against bottled water conglomerates that, in its structural sloppiness, feels like a high school student's tossed-off research paper."
Cinematical
Nick Schager
C+
"The film makes a convincing case for better oversight of public water systems, water conservation, better water treatment systems and better control of industrial pollution which contaminates water supplies."
