"You're going to need a bigger boat." - An iconic line that encapsulates the thrilling suspense of 'Jaws'.

Roger Ebert

We see the shark close up, we look in its relentless eye, and it just plain feels like a shark.

The Guardian

It isn’t the best movie in the world but one consistently has the feeling that it knows its limitations and, instead of trying to transcend them, concentrates instead on getting the basics of good story-telling right.

Los Angeles Times

"Jaws" is a coarse-grained and exploitive work which depends on excess for its impact.

The Hollywood Reporter

Jaws is perhaps the most perfectly constructed horror story in our time.
