Warm Water Under a Red Bridge Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Seeing it as a Westerner is an enlightening, even liberating, experience.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Like its bizarre heroine, it irrigates our souls.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
A charming, quirky and leisurely paced Scottish comedy -- except with an outrageous central gimmick that could have been a reject from Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
Pasadena Weekly
John Esther
From blushing to gushing---Imamura squirts the screen in 'Warm Water Under a Red Bridge'
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
Yes, Warm Water is a shaggy-dog story, but one with a real heart beating beneath the sniggering.
New Times
Andy Klein
Richly entertaining and suggestive of any number of metaphorical readings.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Imamura has said that Warm Water Under a Red Bridge is a poem to the enduring strengths of women. It may also be the best sex comedy about environmental pollution ever made.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
I suspect many viewers will be disoriented and put off by Warm Water Under a Red Bridge, but if you let go and enjoy the ride, you'll find a sly comedy and a clever poem that's worth cherishing.
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Japanese director Shohei Imamura's latest film is an odd but ultimately satisfying blend of the sophomoric and the sublime.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
A deep and meaningful film.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
A comedy that is warm, inviting, and surprising.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
It's an often-cute film but either needs more substance to fill the time or some judicious editing.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Imamura's delight in the infinite oddity of men and women is goofy; it's also, at heart, reverent.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Combines a comically dismal social realism with a farcically bawdy fantasy of redemption and regeneration.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
There's not enough here to justify the almost two hours.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Nonchalantly freaky and uncommonly pleasurable, Warm Water may well be the year's best and most unpredictable comedy.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
Lurid and less than lucid work.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Simply doesn't have sufficient heft to justify its two-hour running time.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
A tasty slice of droll whimsy.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A delirious celebration of the female orgasm.
