The "Reception" section of this article has recently been removed because it consists solely of negative reviews. Rather than removing the negative reviews, please add any positive reviews that might be found to balance the section. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:32, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is a critics poll table in Metro Magazine, no.142, 2004 Fall, p.208(1) (ISSN: 0312-2654).
From it:
THE PANEL 1 DOUGAL MACDONALD THE CANBERRA TIMES 2 JULIE RIGG RADIO NATIONAL 3 TOM RYAN THE SUNDAY AGE 4 ANTHONY MORRIS FORTE 5 ROCHELLE SIEMIENNOWICZ (sic) THE BIG ISSUE 6 MADELEI ...
WATERMARK Georgina Willis -- 5 2 -- 4 -- 2 ...
Trying to interpret without the mag, Julie Rigg from Radio National gave it a 5/?. Tom Ryan of the Sunday Age a 2/? Rochelle Siemienowicz of Big Issue 4/?. Someone else 2/?.
Scores are not all out of 5 as the previous film in the table got 6 6 5 5 -- --.
That's 3 or four more reviews that it got at the time
From that info I found [1] where Rigg comments on the film but not a full review. And then [2].
It looks like there is at least one non negative review out there. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:53, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is a highly questionable overly positive "review" appearing out the on web. According to Indiewrap that review was written by Joseph Brown [3] and posted 23 August 2024. Funnily enough two days after this page was first whitewashed. According to USA Wire that review was written by Hassan Javed or Andrew Johnston https:// removed .com/watermark-revisited/ and posted 20 September 2024. Funnily enough the same day this page was next whitewashed. Looks like someone is trying to rewrite the past ahead of a planned rerelease. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:54, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Duffbeerforme: What's "https:// removed .com/watermark-revisited/"? Was this originally a link to a WP blacklisted site? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:05, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I'd love to positive reviews in reliable sources, but that ain't one. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
