Get us some seats in the middle of the theater if possible, I don't want to be at the back and I don't want to strain my neck up front.

I already know about it, tell me what critics have said about the movie.

Owen Glieberman from Variety said ""Dark Waters," in its stunningly real and intricately crafted way, restores some of the original shock and awe to the journalistic genre of The Conspiracies Around Us That Are Truly Happening."
