Other than the novelty of being the only example of a gritty crime drama featuring a key male character named Babs, there is absolutely nothing interesting or memorable to be found in Wetlands.

Rated: 2/4

Variety

Apparently moviemaking keeps getting easier while writing keeps getting harder - "Wetlands" being yet another example of a film whose surface technical polish can only do so much to gloss over the coarse, clumsy screenplay that flummoxes its cast.

Stronger on style than substance.

It's not perfect, but there's a shaggy dog respectability to it that made for a worthwhile watch.

Wetlands is a talky crime drama with very little to say.

Rated: 5/10

The Young Folks

As much as negativity is the fuel for the status of these people being stuck in their misery, Babs represents a hope and change, a light at the end of this dark tunnel.

Rated: 7/10

Drags on a bit. Good actors but a so so plot. Kind of boring. Reformed Cop trying to reconnect with his daughter. Always waiting to see if there is a crime but nothing shows up till late in the movie. I kept watching thinking it would get better. It just drags on. There are better movies to watch other than the actors.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed Wetlands considering I had never heard of the film and happened on it via a streaming service. The acting is good, with a good plot, and I didn't find it predictable except for a romantic affair. It was nice to lean back and watch the story unfold, without a lot of melodrama. Not a great film, but worthy of the time I spent watching it.
