Reviews

Sharkwater Extinction serves as a fitting cinematic tribute informing us that while progress has been made, much more work needs to be done.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

A plea for transparency and conservation whose gorgeous 4K cinematography should make it an enticing proposition for nonfiction cinephiles and activists alike.

Nick Schager, Variety

An alarming, illuminating and emotionally gripping exposÃ©. Forget about Captain Marvel and watch this powerful doc about the quest of a real-life hero, Rob Stewart, instead.
