Bill Chambers Film Freak Central The Shark Is Still Working isn't necessarily better than The Making of Jaws, but it trods less familiar ground. Sep 14, 2012 Full Review Michael A. Smith Nolan's Pop Culture Review While the main players (Spielberg, Scheider, Dreyfuss) have appeared in other documentaries, they are more relaxed here, telling stories never told before with a sly wink like someone finally betraying a secret Rated: 4/4 Mar 19, 2009 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk pulsates with the kind of admiration and genuine love for film that is all too often dismissed as overeager fanboy veneration and not recognized as the kind of passion that keeps art alive and kicking Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 4, 2009 Full Review Sean O'Connell Filmcritic.com leaves no fin unturned Rated: 4/5 Jan 30, 2009 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters A masterful companion piece to the various supplements surrounding the perfect popcorn hit, it's the smart and insightful sugar coating on three decades of fascinating fish stories. Rated: 4/5 Sep 26, 2007 Full Review Dan Lybarger eFilmCritic.com Erik Hollander's 'The Shark Is Still Working' answers pretty much everything you could ever want to know about the making of Steven Spielberg's 1975 breakthrough film 'Jaws' and a few things that aren't all that interesting. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

james r The most comprehensive work on the iconic film. If you've seen Jaws more than 5 times, this is required viewing. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A must-see for all Jaws fans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Very informative and entertaining. This documentary doesn't so much as show how the film Jaws was made, but it's impact and legacy. It's main focus is the first film, which itself shows much history. Many interviews, images, clips, and so much more. It's easy to tell that much love went into the making of this, and I highly recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A detailed account not of the filming of Jaws, but of the phenomena surrounding the film. It's good to see what must have been some of the last interviews with main players in the success of Jaws before their deaths. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the best Documentary I have ever seen! I give it 5 stars because I don't think anything less is worthy. Its on the Jaws Blu Ray give it a look. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Excelente documental !!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
