Spectacular film. 'Forever chemicals' should never be the price humans pay for money and jobs. Get ready to throw out your Teflon cookware.

Dark Waters is as gripping as it is terrifying, and it'll claw into your consciousness in the same way that poisonous forever chemicals have claimed squatter's rights in your body.

Spirituality & Health

...by focusing on the individuals involved, and laying out a compelling moral vision, Dark Waters also works as a powerful metaphor for those cases when persistence and compassion have pushed society forward.

Bilott is a scrappy plugger, a Midwestern man with a strong sense of right and wrong who simply cannot walk away from a case that puts every aspect of his own life at risk.

Vague Visages

Rob Bilott can provide an explanation, and that’s the flip side to his ultimate revelation in Dark Waters: we are our own destructors, and only we can protect ourselves. It’s a notion both horrific and inspiring, just like the film itself.

Dark Waters is a film that is hard to watch, it made me angry and depressed, but it also left me hopeful because it showed me people like Rob Bilott exist.
