Review 4 stars --TimeOut New YorkRachel Weisz is extremely moving. --The New YorkerRachel Weisz is incandescent. --Rolling StoneRachel Weisz is extremely moving. --The New YorkerRachel Weisz is incandescent. --Rolling Stone Review: Slow, intimate, beautiful and sad - I admit that I fully expected this film to be boring. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find it not only engaging, but the first film I have seen about an adulterous affair that I think actually qualified as a love story. Yes, the film is very slow. But I never found it boring. That is largely due to the powerful performances of the three main actors: Weisz, Hiddleston and Beale. They captivate from the first to the last. The film has an unusual structure that works well for the themes explored. It opens with Hester about to commit suicide, and recalling via flashback what transpired to get her to this point. Like true memories, they don't necessarily come in clearly, or in order, and it can be challenging for a viewer to follow at first. The movie is ostensibly about the affair between Hester and Freddie, but also subtly addresses the mystery of depression to those who have never experienced it, and cannot understand it. Hester's husband loves her; they have money and privilege, yet she is painfully unhappy because they are no more than friends. Along comes Freddie who, after surviving the Battle of Britain, is living life to the fullest with little thought for tomorrow - and she falls in love for the first time in her life. But, Freddie is unable to give her everything she needs either. It would have been easy to make Freddie the "villain" here, and I am glad the director did not. Freddie is insensitive and occasionally cruel to Hester. Yet, he never misled her on who he is, or what he could be for her. He is as trapped in his life as she in hers. One scene in the museum shows that she can be cruel to him in turn. Hester is caught between two men: one she cares for, respects and enjoys as an intellectual companion, and one who gives her the passion and joy she has been missing. With such a disastrous set-up, I was somewhat amazed that the film ended with a note of hope. The film is beautiful to look at - visually lush and very appropriate to the time period. And the score fits so perfectly it actually tells the story for long stretches when there is little dialog. This is not an "entertaining" film in the traditional sense, and those looking for escapism will probably be disappointed. Yet, it is a very moving film about love, rebellion, and finding oneself. I enjoyed it immensely and will watch it again. The extras are also quite good for an indie film. They include an interview with Weisz, and one with Hiddleston. But, the two featurettes were the most interesting. Terence Davies' Master Class, in which he spends about an hour addressing what looks to be an actual class of students, was superb - delving into his motivations, the actual process of how he directs, what he felt about certain scenes, and the actors. This would be of particular interest to film students, even if the film is not their cup of tea. The DVD also includes director commentary of the film, but I personally don't like those. Overall, 4.5 stars, and it has encouraged me to look for other films by this director. Review: A Great Play Becomes a Great Film - This film of Terrence Rattigan's play might as well have been shot right on the boards as it was originally seen. I feel as though I am sitting in the theater watching the actors circle one another in a tightly reined production. It's glorious. There are scenes that I thought could have been paintings or sculptures, capturing the moment in three or four frames. The post-coital shots are works of art. Great direction. Cinematography is also good. From pub scenes to bombed-out rubble playgrounds to the sadly shabby apartment where the lovers live, all is compact and richly detailed. Contrary to some reviews I've read here, the story is not about an adulterous affair that ends badly. It's a love story. These people hurt each other. Hester loves her husband and she loves Freddie, but she hurts them. And vice versa. It's not that they do not love each other; they do. But each one is inadequate in fulfilling the other's desires, expectations. Listen carefully to Hester's dialogue about what love means to her. That's pretty much the conflict in the story. It's a beautiful story and rings true as bells. That was Rattigan's magic. But the triumph of the film is in the performances. Rachel Weisz is magnificent. Breath-taking. The camera captures every measured gesture, every shift in expression, every subtle movement; we know we are seeing an actress at the top of her game. If she didn't win an award for this role, she should have. Simon Russell Beale's performance as the staid, respectable, impeccable judge is a masterwork in his long resume of great performances. I wanted to slap his silly, vapid face. I wanted to cry for him. Tom Hiddleston shows here why he is remarked to be one of the best actors of our day. His Freddie is wonderful. The character is a WWII decorated flyboy whose clipped wings in peacetime Britain has left him without purpose, without fulfillment, without dignity. Hiddleston plays the role with braggadocio and pathos. I wanted to slap his silly, vapid face. I wanted to cry for him. In fact, during the penultimate scene, I was crying. Not because of how the story ends, but because of the utterly brilliant performance Hiddleston gives at this point. I saw this film twice before purchasing it. It's one of those unforgettables. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007TR1R22 | | Actors | Rachel Weisz, Simon Russell Beale, Tom Hiddleston | | Best Sellers Rank | #113,640 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,379 in Romance (Movies & TV) #17,468 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (1,177) | | Director | Terrence Davies | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 39 | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | July 24, 2012 | | Run time | 1 hour and 38 minutes | | Studio | Music Box Films | ## Images ![The Deep Blue Sea - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412iDntXlOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slow, intimate, beautiful and sad *by J***D on July 31, 2012* I admit that I fully expected this film to be boring.
