Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times "Like Water"feels wildly incomplete, a let-down for fans and initiates to the sport alike. Rated: 2/5 Jun 1, 2012 Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times A tepid, superficial sports documentary about Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight king Anderson Silva. Rated: 1.5/4 May 31, 2012 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Pablo Croce's filmic portrait of master fighter Anderson Silva is a priceless viewpoint of a gifted but humble athlete working past the height of his powers.

Audience Member I loved this movie. Anderson Silva is an inspiration. he is proof of the human spirit. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Like Water is a documentary on UFC fighter, Anderson Silva, and the lead up to his extremely publicized 7th title defense fight against Chael Sonnen. It's a short little movie, but it was very entertaining to watch. If you like UFC and the whole circus atmosphere is exudes, then this movie will give you even more of an appreciation for it. The movie doesn't really dive too deep into the legend of Anderson Silva, but it gets the surface level stuff done well enough. Basically liking this movie comes down to one thing and one thing only. Do you like watching two people beat the shit out of each other? If yes, then this is definitely worth a look. It's even more worth it if you've been a follower or fan of Anderson Silva for a long time. The guy is obviously a remarkable fighter, entertainer, and athlete. It's weird seeing this movie now, after he just lost the belt, but nonetheless, Silva's image of one of the best fighters ever can never be taken away. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member just saw it it was good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Like Water may not do much for people who don't enjoy MMA but for fans of the sport the documentary about Anderson Silva is a fun behind the scenes view one of the greatest fighters of all time as he prepares for his title defense against obnoxious Chael Sonnen. Like Water is effective in giving fans of the sport insight into what fighters go through before fight night but it would have been much better with some insight into why Silva became a fighter and his childhood. Like Water could have been about so much more than preparing for a fight but director Pablo Croce missed the boat and left some questions unanswered. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Yes it is a documentary but really it just a weak story needlessly elongated. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent documentary. Makes you realize that this guy was born to be the greatest. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
