Once again Shyamalan is a maddening storyteller, by turns inspired and insipid, and he still manages to conjure some odd, unnerving moments.

despite the childlike nature of the story, Lady in the Water will prove too confusing for most kids, which is a shame, since they're also the ones most like to greet that giant-eagle business with something other than a derisive laugh.
July 21, 2006
The story is so convoluted and ultimately preposterous that you're almost embarrassed by the earnestness of the actors trying to carry it off.

[Perhaps it's] improvised and protracted, nonsensically and unnecessarily, just for the sake of stringing us along. And, maybe, putting us to sleep.
July 21, 2006
In the end, Shyamalan's stumbling Lady never gives us a reason to believe.

This could have made a decent movie but the mythology comes so thick and fast that it mixes to a slurry as you watch.

What is most annoying about "Lady" is that no one ever considers the possibility that nothing magical is actually occurring.The film starts out silly and just gets sillier.
July 04, 2008
... to put it bluntly, badly paced and completely trivial, not to mention utterly juvenile.
April 29, 2009
While the film's performances are intriguing and the direction tight, Shyamalan's fairytale ends up being more interesting than the actual film.

What was [Shyamalan] thinking? This isn't just duff, it's career-threatening catastrophic.

Crazy as this might sound, it turns out that self-indulgent ramblings designed to put your children to sleep are pretty much the opposite of art.
