Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 19 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10.[5] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 90 out of 100, based on five critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[6]
Zachary Lee of RogerEbert.com gave the film three and a half out of four stars and wrote, "Time and Water is very much a project trying to capture memory, time, and history, even as it melts before your eyes. I shudder to think that after the film's premiere at Sundance, what the condition of Iceland's glaciers may look like now."[7]
Murtada Elfadl of Variety wrote, "With Time and Water, Dosa turns the climate crisis into something heartbreakingly tangible. She and her collaborators create not just an urgent documentary, but a profoundly beautiful elegy for a world slipping away before our eyes."[8]
In a Critics' Pick review for IndieWire, Marya E. Gates noted the film's unique mixture of autobiography and nature doc, calling it "a poetic musing on intergenerational memory, a whimsical, yet staunchly political elegy for the glaciers, and a mournful look at the Earth in all her majesty and mystery."[9]
