Watermark is a 2003 Australian film directed by Georgina Willis and produced by Kerry Rock.[1] It screened at Directors' Fortnight at 2003's Cannes film festival.[2] Cast
ReceptionAdrian Martin of The Age gave Watermark a very negative review, leading producer Kerry Rock to threaten to sue Martin and The Age.[3] Martin had called it "an inept, abysmal movie in every department" and said it was "another case study of what can go so terribly wrong in Australian movies."[4] The Courier Mail gave it two stars, stating, "The film is moody and keeps its distance, which doesn't make the drama particularly involving."[5] Herald Sun's Leigh Paatsch also gave it 2 stars writing "To get to Watermark's best scenes — which meaningfully meander about what element of the past might be haunting a middle-aged family man — the viewer has to wade through an ocean of pretentious piffle.""[6] Tom Ryan of the Sunday Age gave it two stars and said "Watermark suffers from stilted performances (for which the cast may or may not be responsible) and from a studied artiness".[7] Writing in Variety, David Stratton said, "the film’s at times confusing structure and the cliches in which it dabbles will make it difficult to attract a significant audience."[1] References
