The film transcends its B-movie template with realistic performances and taut direction, yet never spares the thrills.

The best thing about it is its star, P.J. Boudousque, who locates a sense of terror and betrayal that the script lacks.
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A punishing, predictable drama that's almost rescued by strong acting and good intentions.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
There's a compelling, perhaps important thriller to be made about dark doings at for-profit juvenile detention camps, but "Coldwater" misses the mark.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Grashaw effectively charts the unhealthy power dynamics, though he seems still to be finding his way at conceiving characters, directing actors, and establishing tone.
