Reviews

The Shallows has garnered mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its suspenseful atmosphere and Blake Lively's compelling performance. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a fresh rating of 79%, highlighting the tension-filled narrative and the stunning cinematography that captures the beauty and danger of the ocean. However, IMDb's rating of 6.3/10 and Metacritic's score of 59/100 suggest a more lukewarm reception, with criticism directed towards the film's occasional reliance on cliches and the unrealism of certain survival scenarios. Despite the diverging opinions, audiences have appreciated the film's ability to deliver a thrilling and nerve-wracking experience that keeps them engaged from start to finish.
