Watch The Deep Blue Sea For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Plot is plodding and pointless and the characters are unsympathetic. The dialog literally put me to sleep and music reminds me of a funeral dirge. I usually love Rachel Weisz as an actress so I was surprised to find her in such an awful movie. Her cuckold of a husband makes any man in love ashamed and fearful to admit that any man could possibly act in such a spineless manner. The boyfriend is such a cad that it is impossible to see anything from his pointy of view other than agreeing with his actions to escape the clingy partnership he found himself in. the worst character of all was Rachel Weisz's which is a clingy neurotic shell of a woman who has no self worth.

I've been putting off review The Deep Blue Sea. Terrence Davies' remake of the 1950′s film based on the stage-play is a curious piece which I'm still struggling to get my head around.It's a strangely polarising beast which split me between annoyance and er enjoyance Here's the deal. On the one hand. It's a self-consciously old-fashioned portrayal of love and life in 1950′s London. Rachel Weiss plays Hester trapped in a flat and dull marriage she finds physical and emotional release in the arms of Freddie (played by Tom Hiddleston) a magnetic yet damaged WW2 pilot who is struggling to adjust to post-war life. The story is stylistic lavish with intimate set-pieces, evocative lighting and a mood of emotional frustration. What's not is as important as what is not said. There's evocations of Brief Encounter and Powell & Pressburger. An impressive meditation on love in all its forms and the damage it can cause.On the other hand. It's an out-dated throw-back from a director who is stuck in time with a Britain that never really existed. Pampered hoity-toity, plummy-types (Hester? Freddie? Oh, 'k off!) moping and whining while the salt of the earth "Cor Blimey" types are just busy getting by. Posh types mope. Look out of windows. Smoke. Mope a bit more. Look out of more windows. Have a bit of a row. Cry. Look out of even more windows. Gah! Hester treats her husband like rubbish. Freddie treats Hester like rubbish. Hester treats herself like rubbish. It's so mannered and drenched in stylistic devices and cinematic tropes that they become at best distracting, at worst like a cinema school project with a budget.So where does that leave us? Nostalgic meditation on love? Or stylised bore-fest of posh-types gagging for it? To be honest I'm still stuck between a rock and a hard place. Between, the devil and the . hmmm hang-on . it's suddenly occurred to me that maybe that's the point. Christ, I think I need to watch something stupid to clear my brain.

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!

"The Deep Blue Sea" is one of the hardest kinds of stories to tell on screen. It gives us a character who frustratingly clings to a situation that is bad and painful for her, locks us in her head, and expects us to want the best for her even while we're frustrated with her. It takes the perfect actress giving the perfect performance to make that tolerable.Unfortunately, Rachel Weisz is not that actress. This is one of those films in which I stopped caring what happened to any of the characters in it long before the end. Weisz is a woman in a doomed love affair with a young man (a total jerk as he's portrayed by Tom Hiddleston, so much so that you wonder what attracted her to him in the first place) and with a dumpy husband (Simon Russell Beale) who still loves her. When her lover loses interest in her, she enters into a crisis and carries us along with her. The movie is one sustained note of morose gloominess with little variety, and the nominally upbeat ending is far too little coming far too late.The movie's best assets are its scenes between Weisz and Beale, small isolated gems of acting on both of their parts.And I don't know if it's just because I watched this as a streaming movie on Netflix, but it looked terrible, with colors that looked off and a blurry, badly composed quality that didn't look intentional.Grade: C+
