Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 87% of 62 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.8/10.The website's consensus reads: "Patiently constructed and beautifully filmed, Aquarela views man's relationship with water through a sobering -- and awe-inducing -- lens." [3] Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the film a score of 80 out of 100, based on 20 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. [4]

Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "This is a purely sensationalistic cinematic experience that paradoxically encourages reflection and contemplation. Although the use of some (admittedly pretty good) heavy metal music on the soundtrack feels like a bit of overreaching." [5]
