Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
sachintendu04 If I had to write the entire movie, it will take less than 2 short pages. More than half of the movie was filled with music. I finished the movie in like 30 minutes. We don't even know in the end the reason for her attempted suicide. Just a plain boring movie. I won't recommend watching it, just read the summary if you are interested, will save a lot of your time.
bert-huys-242-355755 Whatever happens in this world where everything goes or has to go fast and more and more digital, Terence Davies remains the same director with his slow pacing style which I like so much.Everything in this movie works excellent: the first ten minutes with the magnificent music of the Violin Concerto of Samuel Barber brings you immediately in the right mood of the movie. Also later on in the movie the strong and beautiful voice of Jo Stafford with her most famous song You belong to Me turns you back in the fifties.But for me the strongest scene of the movie is the long tracking shot in the underground Railway: with one long movement of the camera Davies brings alive the sphere of the city during the world war. I do like the scene where everyone sings in the bar also a lot.Rachel Weisz, in my opinion one of the best and most beautiful actresses of the last 10 years (The Constant Gardener, Agora, Youth, ...), is in this movie at her very best. With one blink of her sad eyes you can feel her broken heart. Tim Hiddleston and Simon Russell Beale are also superb.I can only recommend this movie to everyone. I have seen this movie already four time (even twice at the cinema...).Thank You, Terence Davies, for giving us from time to time movies of this quiet caliber.The Deep Blue sea is still the best movie that I have seen in the last 5 years (2011-2016) at the cinema. THe movie should at least have a rating of 8,3 instead of 6,3.
pepe4u22 I have seen both versions of this movie the original with vivien leigh and this with Rachel weitz and I must admit I found the original much better. the story about the love of an older lady and a younger man during the 1950's not as open or accepted as nowadays. I found the problem with this movie was it felt so stagey and at the same time it lacked the passion of the original. I found Rachel Weitz giving a sleepwalking performance yet I have seen her in many other movies but here she was just not with it. Most of the cast seemed so morose and bored it was for me a hard movie to watch though there was one improvement upon the original and that was the love interest as the actor in this version was lively and believable unlike the actor in the original who actually looked older than the character in the play is to be. I will say I was disappointed because this movie could have been a wonderful experience but instead was so boring.
Jackson Booth-Millard Not to be confused with the shark thriller with Saffron Burrows, Ice Cube and Samuel L. Jackson, I know this was a British made film, and the leading actress in it, but I didn't know anything about the plot or concept, so I was looking forward to it. Basically, set in around the 1950's, Hester Collyer (Golden Globe nominated Rachel Weisz) is a young woman married to the older High Court judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale), and is having a passionate affair with handsome young former RAP pilot Freddie Page (Thor's Tom Hiddleston) who is still haunted by memories of the war, and he almost feels no fear and excitement in life anymore. Most of the story takes place in the space of one day, when in her flat Hester attempts to commit suicide, she fails to do so and recovers, both the affectionate but no-sexual affair and the constrained but comfortable marriage are played out together through flashbacks. Her affair is discovered, and leaves her regular life of relative luxury for a dingy life in a small London flat with her lover, he has awakened her sexually, but despite his thrill-seeking ways he cannot give her the same love and stability as her husband, but she cannot return to a life with passion, so there is a lot of dilemma. Also starring EastEnders' Ann Mitchell as Mrs. Elton, Jolyon Coy as Philip Welch, Karl Johnson as Mr. Miller, Harry Hadden-Paton as Jackie Jackson and Sarah Kants as Liz Jackson. Firsty, the title is derived from the lead female character's dilemma of being caught between the Devil and the deep blue sea – two equally undesirable situations, I think I know what that means, going with your conscience or going with your heart. Reisz gives a good performance as the woman caught between choosing her acceptable home life or having a bit more excitement with a new man, Hiddleston is also good as the man she embarks on an affair with, the story is relatively simple, based on a stage play, full of strain and heartrending material, it is well acted and produced, and certainly keeps you wondering where is is going, a terrific drama. Very good!
