Steve Dollar Wall Street Journal Sep 5, 2014
The film transcends its B-movie template with realistic performances and taut direction, yet never spares the thrills. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh The Playlist Aug 27, 2014
B-
For a first time feature outing, "Coldwater" is a fine effort from Grashaw, and the setting feels fresh and new. It's an original take on a coming of age, young masculinity tale, but ultimately, it doesn't quite live up to all of its potential Go to Full Review
Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly Aug 18, 2014
B-
The best thing about it is its star, P.J. Boudousqu, who locates a sense of terror and betrayal that the script lacks. Go to Full Review

3.5/4.0
There are glimpses, perhaps too brief for most moviegoers, of humanity contained within these characters. Go to Full Review
Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Oct 24, 2018

Jared Mobarak The Film Stage May 8, 2018
B+
It's a cat and mouse game with government officials threatening sanctions that never evolve into anything tangible as the boys discover their fate rests in their own hands with a nightmarish Lord of Flies-esque climax. Go to Full Review

Theodore R Jul 9, 2017 Juvenile facility from hell. The rampant abuse cannot be tolerated, and boils into the brutal coup of the inmates on the system. A good movie, used to show the injustice of such facilities. See more
