The Deep End

"The Deep End may be preposterous but it's an engagingly moody experience nonetheless."

"One of the most invigorating experiences of the summer."

"Its self-awareness is never less than jarring -- trash too high-minded to come out and indulge itself."

"A rather dull movie, weighed down by its pretensions."

"A beautifully made melodrama that succeeds on formal levels more than it does with emotion."

"Uses relentless ingenuity to dig its heroine into deeper and deeper holes--until finally, when she seems defeated by the weight of her problems, it's equally ingenious in digging her out again."

"Diverting but not memorable."
