Dark Water Review

This is NOT a horror film. Yes, it's being marketed that way but it's not. This is a drama about a mother and daughter trying to make it on their own with a bit of a ghostly twist.  Jennifer Connelly is amazing and has become one of my favorite actresses.  In this, she is strong and fragile.  The little girl playing her daughter is sublime; the next dakota fanning maybe.  This film is slow paced, there are NO big scares, no blood - just tension and mystery under the surface. The pace brings you to really care about the characters and not root for Dahlia because it's Jennifer Connelly, but because it's Dahlia.  It has one of the saddest yet hopeful endings I've seen in a while.  Give it a try if you're looking for a good drama.
