THE WATER MAN is a family drama in which a boy searches for a mythic figure with healing powers after he learns that his mother is ill.
violence
There are references to domestic abuse when a girl tells her friend that her father was the reason for a scar on her neck. There is also a scene in which a man roughly shakes his son.
threat and horror
Regular scenes of threat include young characters becoming trapped in a fire. There are scary sequences in which children are spooked by shadowy figures in the darkness. Other scenes of moderate horror include the children screaming as they are covered in bugs, and a boy coming face to face with an immortal man with a decaying face. In a fantastical scene there is brief sight of drowned bodies floating in water. The film also features references to climate change.
additional issues
The film features mild bad language ('crap') and a use of 'BS'. The film has an illness theme: a boy's mother has leukaemia. Antisocial behaviour such as shoplifting is not endorsed by the film.
