  'The Deep End'
After a long, hot and generally disappointing summer, "The Deep End" arrives today to provide an end-of-season lift.
It is one of the best movies to float our way, bolstered by recurring images of water, a superb performance by Tilda Swinton and the suspenseful way her character, Margaret Hall, steps down a nightmarish rabbit hole.
"The Deep End" is based on the novel "The Blank Wall" by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding.

  DVD Times - The Deep End   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Indeed, one of the beauties of The Deep End is the notion that deeper within the core of the characters and situations lies too many problems for the film to deal with, suggesting that the conclusion of the film is not an end but rather a temporary halt.
His face bears the deep, inner scars of his past, and yet at times he almost acts as a substitute father/husband figure for Margaret, considering her proper husband is away at sea and oblivious to any of the lurking problems lying at the heart of his family.
The Deep End is an excellent and thoroughly engaging familial drama/thriller that deserves a bigger audience than it received, and the Region 2 deserves a better DVD release than it has received, even if the picture and sound quality of the feature is excellent.

 The Deep End   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A strange domestic flmail drama from the Directors of Suture, The Deep End stars Tilda Swinton as Margaret Hall, Mother to teenage Son Beau (Jonathan Tucker), who is ensconced in an affair with much older club-promoter Darby Reese (Josh Lucas).
From the watery blue of "The Deep End" Club, to the lapping waves of Lake Tahoe to the fact that Margaret’s Husband is in the Navy and cannot be reached, water seems both an impenetrable barrier and a harbinger of doom in the Hall Family’s world.
Although certain elements of the plot creak at best and are far from believable, The Deep End is a stylish, slow-burning film and intelligent rendition of well worn themes that is enriched by a wonderful central performance and startling cinematography.

 The Deep End: Cinephiles Movie Review
The Deep End, based on the 1940s novel The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding, explores its central female character --an ordinary suburban mother-- by placing it in extreme situations that trigger fierce maternal instincts.
The Deep End establishes Margaret's rejection of Darby as resulting not from his homosexuality but from his untrustworthy and corruptive nature (he had previously involved underage Beau in a drunk-driving accident).
While surface, underwater and establishing (long) shots of a deceitfully placid lake reflect a preoccupation with setting, the recursive figure of water is further explored in highly stylized scenes that include a water-faucet reluctantly dripping, a waterhose violently filling a tank, and a water bottle dropping and bursting on the ground.

 The End Of The Deep End / The swimming pool as you know it is no more, and the childhood rite of passage will never be ...
Something foreboding and scary and magnificent, because when you were about six years old the deep end very much represented that sudden slap of terrifying summertime anxiety -- particularly if you were new to swimming, new to the pool's otherworldly challenges, its beckoning aura of happy splish-splash impending doom.
It was magic and dark and transformative and the deep end was that area of the pool you ventured into extremely tentatively, excitedly, all about that rush of delicious fear and desire and quiet panic and determination.
The deep end is, of course, the metaphor to end all metaphors.

 The Deep End
The Deep End is a film that gains momentum in much the same way as other recent successful thrillers, but then betrays that formula, and loses the audience, in a sadly overdone third act.

Just like so many family vacations, “The Deep End’s” pleasures exist within the adventurous road trip, and the anticipation of the unknown, not the final destination.

That's the basic premise of The Deep End, a stellar new film from Scott McGehee and David Siegel, the duo who made the impressive, Hitchcockian Suture on a very tiny budget a few years ago.

'The Deep End" 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.

"The Deep End" is the kind of crime movie where the everyday surroundings make the violence seem all the more shocking and gruesome.

Tilda Swinton turns in a commanding performance in "The Deep End," about a mother who loses her son to a bad crowd, and then makes everything worse when she finds her son's friend dead.
Based on Elisabeth Sanxay Holding's novel "The Blank Wall," "The Deep End" is a well-crafted thriller written and directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel ("Suture").

The ending leaves a lot of misunderstandings in the mother-son relationship which probably should've been cleared up, and the filmmakers' skills at evoking tension and suspense could stand some polishing.

The Deep End is an old-fashioned psychological drama dressed up as a glacially cool, modern suspense thriller.

And she would have delivered a more satisfying resolution: the climax is one of several aspects of Deep End that audiences probably shouldn’t examine too closely.
