FilmWeek (LAist)

This is not a terribly well-made documentary, but it's a fascinating character.

Nachoum remains so reticent about his true motivations that by the time he achieves his life goal, one aches for greater catharsis.

As remarkable as the photographer who is the focus of the film, this is a must-see documentary.

Rated: 4/4

Vladan Petkovic

Cineuropa

The quest itself is very exciting and suspenseful, and is best left for the audience to experience without any prior knowledge.

Josh Goller

Spectrum Culture

There's a sad irony in a documentary about an underwater photographer renowned for capturing striking images of creatures in their natural environments feeling so contrived.

Rated: 2.5/5
