Entertainment Reviews:
With muted colours and dreamlike compositions, it's very much a mood piece, as if the story is being filtered through the smoky prism of the director's half-remembered childhood. A film for grown-ups, and highly recommended.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A story of passion and its aftermath; of what happens when an unhappy woman goes chasing after something shiny, only to find how quickly it fades.
Seattle Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
This elegant, beautiful, sad film explores an old story in an emotionally violently new way.

Washington Examiner
The movie is an exquisite period piece, slow and dank, and unduly persuaded that it's rendering a classic.

The New Republic
Exceptionally well-made and completely fearless in its depiction of the widest range of romantic emotions, this is a film as fiercely committed to passion as its heroine, and that's saying a lot.
Los Angeles Times
The three leads are superb....Rachel Weisz's lustrous evocation of sensual sorrow gives Hester a distinct cerebral edge.
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- Echoes of BRIEF ENCOUNTER abound, and Davies deliberately courts them...it often plumbs similar depths.

Product Description:
One of Terence Rattigan's most celebrated plays is given a new screen adaptation in this drama written and directed by Terence Davies. Hester Page (Rachel Weisz) is rescued in the midst of a suicide attempt by her landlady Mrs. Elton (Ann Mitchell) when she smells gas. As those around her ponder why a beautiful woman would choose such a fate, we learn that Hester is not really Hester at all -- she's actually Lady Collyer, the wife of well-known and respected judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale). However, Lady Collyer has never known love or satisfaction in her marriage, and she fell into an affair with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a former RAF pilot. Lady Collyer has become hopelessly infatuated with Freddie, leaving her husband and living with Freddie under an assumed identity. But the woman who now calls herself Hester soon discovers she loves Freddie far more than he loves her, and between his drinking and neglect for her, it seems she's given up her old life for one that has no future. This marks the second time THE DEEP BLUE SEA has been brought to the screen; Vivien Leigh starred in the 1955 version directed by Anatole Litvak.
