Critics' reviews
- "Diaz is largely performing in a vacuum: Keitel, unbelievable for starters as a middle-aged judge, seems unsure at which pitch to play the largely physical comedy, and Sheffer, as the best friend, is fairly vanilla."
- "One moment, 'Head Above Water' plays like a clanking melodrama, the next like a gallows comedy of corrupt yuppie manners."
- "Diaz, clad mostly in a one-piece yellow swimsuit, is left floundering in the shallows of a script which relies on ludicrous human behaviour and mechanical plot twists"
