Danny King

Village Voice

Water and Sugar misses the mark. Instead of close readings, or even just a clean, simple biographical sketch, the movie proceeds rather like a celebrity version of Guess Who?

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Well intentioned and reverential but it feels like a tombstone for the oeuvre of a man whose photography was vividly, mercurially alive.

Rated: 2/5

Cinema Scope

There's no excuse making a poor film on the life and work of one of cinema's greatest cinematographers.

Daniel Eagan

Film Journal International

Despite its shortcomings, Water and Sugar is an affectionate and worthwhile introduction to [Carlo Di Palma's] life and work.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

It's a film of civilised chats with various cinematic notables, including Allen, all sedately conducted by Di Palma's widow, Adriana Chiesa.

Rated: 3/5
