The Shark Is Still Working isn't necessarily better than The Making of Jaws, but it trods less familiar ground. Go to Full Review Michael A. Smith Nolan's Pop Culture Review 03/19/2009
4/4
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 Go to Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk 02/04/2009
3.5/4
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 Go to Full Review Sean O'Connell Filmcritic.com 01/30/2009

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. Go to Full Review Dan Lybarger eFilmCritic.com 09/18/2007

04/10/2021 A must-see for all Jaws fans. See more 09/13/2013 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. See more 03/19/2013 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. See more 03/03/2013 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. See more 02/10/2013 Excelente documental !!!! See more 12/15/2012 This is a must for fans of "Jaws". A thorough and entertaining history on the making of "Jaws" that works complimentary to the other doc, "The Making of Jaws". Check it out!
