an excellent addition to the "THEY KNEW!!" genre.
davidehrlichJan 17, 2020A jet-black legal drama about slowly realizing that we all live in the jaundiced, sickly glow of American institutions and a new stone-cold classic of ruin-the-rest-of-your-night cinema. A foundational, “respected” corporation can intentionally poison every single one of us…
Josh LewisNov 5, 2020I have two thoughts that I’m too lazy to string together into a coherent argument. 1) The scariest monsters are the ones that do not care that you know they want to kill you. 2) The true horror of capitalism isn’t just that it destroys lives, but that the people afflicted…

Not without its issues (pacing, occasional histrionics, a little too much digital teal & orange), but I'm totally on board for all of it because this is some classic auteurist gun-for-hire smuggling. Exactly how you do this stuff.
matt lynchDec 17, 2019this was so good except for the guy next to us literally sucking on his candies so loud and humming and coughing. please go back home and watch bonanza or something sir

incredible adaptation of one of the biggest environmental health lawsuits in history
Gregory Dahms likedDark WatersA gripping, powerful film that masterfully exposes corporate corruption at its worst. Mark Ruffalo's riveting performance brings this true story to life, making you outraged and inspired. A must-watch for anyone who loves seeing justice prevail over corporate greed.
Trish lovedDark WatersActually a really interesting and insightful movie based on a true story about a lawsuit against DuPont which originated from a farmer in Parkersburg, West Virginia that had suspicions about the environmental damage that the DuPont corporation had on the environment

A movie that truly got me emotional and sad and angry but also inspired. Crazy to realize that this is actually based on reality - both the horrors and the lengths the main character went through. Highly recommend
Millicent lovedDark WatersThis is a tragic story which is very well presented by the filmmakers. Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway are tremendous .
Zosiunia dislikedDark WatersHonestly, it's boring. I didn't like it. I can't even find any positives because it's impossible. It was just boring. I was more scared by the ending, and I know it was based on a true story, but they could have made the movie more interesting. And I slept through half of it.

Picture Erin Brockovich, but swap out Julia Roberts for Mark Ruffalo, set it on the east coast instead of California, and this time it's DuPont that committed gross corporate malfeasance and knowingly poisoned Americans instead of PG&E.
Mark Bateman lovedDark Waters9/10 based on a true story/actual events - this happen and is still on going. Wow, this guy is a fighter and thanks to him, this chemical (PFOA) and other like it are being investigated. Would recommend a watch.
Seth Osbourne likedDark Watersinteresting true story that is still ongoing today. helps open your eyes to corruption. Mark Ruffalo did a fantastic job in this one, you can tell how passionate he is about this matter

Metacritic

While Dark Waters is something of a let-down for a Haynes film, it’s otherwise sturdy enough. One can admire the commitment of Ruffalo, who plays the role of the modest, decent, semi-accidental hero without vanity or trite psychology.

What makes it a Haynes film, besides the evocative camera genius of Haynes regular Ed Lachman, is something intangible and mysterious. The director’s admirers will think immediately of Safe, the 1995 indie classic starring Julianne Moore as a wife and mother who thinks she’s being poisoned by something unidentifiable in the environment. That feeling of dread pervades throughout, and deepens the film’s scarily timely themes beyond the usual demands of docudrama.

Riveting, responsible and deeply unsettling, a first-rate film like Dark Waters is a rare and welcome chapter in the dramatic fabric of how one unlikely person can make a big dent in the world of social injustice.
