(1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Page   1   8.5/10 "Una cinta que no es ligera, pero que se disfruta, un drama lleno de conflictos emocionales que trasciende al drama mismo..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 3/4 "...captures some of this harrowing atmosphere, but I wanted even more."   NutzWorld   Blake French 3/5 "The gimmick that might have worked on serialized radio in the 1930's but not on the big screen today"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "It is most definitely a throwback film noir, but is also so acutely contemporary in its anxieties, that it's impossible to label as only that."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "Swinton plays scenes of repressed terror with a remarkable amount of subtlety and finesse."   Lawrence Journal-World   Dan Lybarger B+ "Swinton as the perfect mom is convincing."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "The Deep End may be preposterous but it's an engagingly moody experience nonetheless."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "What the movie does have going for it ... is Tilda Swinton's performance."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "One of the noblest failures that I've had the mixed pleasure of seeing this year."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B "An intriguing, if flawed, picture of a woman driven to the most extreme measures to protect her wayward son."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Tilda Swinton gives a richly nuanced performance as an isolated woman who is forced to step outside the boundaries of her prescribed suburban existence."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "An exceptionally involving and intelligent thriller."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "An unremitting nightmare of comfortable domesticity gone frighteningly awry."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "For a film that doesn't really have much happening in it (action-wise), this baby sure is gripping!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 6/10 "...insofar as creating any kind of realism or credibility is concerned...the movie goes quickly off the deep end. "   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "There's no denying Swinton's wonderful performance."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick A- "Take the plunge."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "I admired the film’s overall craft and structure, but without capturing my complete sympathies, it misses greatness."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2/4 "Real conflict in a serious drama need not involve cash."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "A tale of lies, secrets, and death in what should be the safest of settings -- home -- that becomes an implied metaphor for all that mothers do for their children that goes unnoticed."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "The quiet force of Swinton's performance cannot bridge the ever-increasing disconnect between the film and the audience."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/5 "Tilda Swinton carries this movie on her capable shoulders, and with a lesser actress in the lead, I am sure that it wouldn't be getting the rave reviews it is."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "Thanks to two superb performances, you really believe that a lowlife criminal could be the best friend a troubled woman could ever have."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Finely crafted but more than a little overrated."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3.5/4 "It is a gripping, suspenseful drama that grabs you by the throat and just won't let go."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "A thrummingly satisfying '40s-style women's melodrama cleverly disguised as an art-house picture."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "An undercurrent of suspense flows through this tense, gripping, low-budget neo-noir thriller."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Not to say that The Deep End is a bad film, exactly, rather it's a forgettable one that is remarkable only for its almost complete lack of distinction."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "Having two directors at the helm doesn't help"   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 0/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 Read review   Movie Boeuf   David N.
