It's certainly pleasurable, but this modern Fatal Attraction is too prudish to satisfy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2024

Around halfway through, as the ambiguity of the early scenes is lost, and we get a clearer sense of what exactly is happening, Deep Water also becomes more predictable, and refuses to gather steam as a thriller.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 27, 2024

Even if these types of thrillers are your guilty pleasure, no matter how bad or predictable they may be, forcing yourself through two hours of lifeless and uninspired writing and performances of this sort is simply not worth it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 17, 2024

“Deep Water” can be a bit shallow and silly at times. But the basic thrills and surprising laughs it provides are more than enough to make for an entertaining evening.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 9, 2023

After watching this film I am trying to comprehend how the two leads fell in love while filming.

| Jul 26, 2023

One of the most frustrating & Boring films that I have seen in awhile. Yes there is some entertainment to it… but it goes away so fast & the film is only saved by the performances.

| Jul 25, 2023

The protagonists couldn't be more awful people in an incredibly toxic relationship that's frustrating to watch, but their lack of development and inexistent arcs make the narrative feel repetitive, predictable, and lacking intensity.

| Original Score: D | Jul 25, 2023

Enticing and twisted, Deep Water sucks us into the journey with mesmerising lead performances and the prospect of an exciting climax, but unfortunately when the final destination is reached, it almost doesn't seem worth it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2023

At the end of the day, it’s hard to call Deep Water disappointing. On the scale of the erotic thrillers that came before, it’s nothing memorable, but there is something admirable about its existence in 2022.

DEEP WATER is a well-made and enjoyable film. I laughed all the way through but it was mainly because of the direction of the story and where the sympathy for the characters lies.

Deep Water has some very interesting ideas and some great performances from Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas but the story is very messy and convoluted at times. Times were it feels like the stacks are high and others where I questioned the point of the story

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Dec 26, 2022

It's surprisingly earnest in the film's tawdry convictions. Still, I can't quite recommend Deep Water as the movie gets in way over its head.

| Original Score: C | Dec 10, 2022

The result is an affair as dull and lifeless as one of the ex-lovers’ corpses floating in a river... if Indecent Proposal‘s Robert Redford walks up and offers you $1 million for one viewing of Deep Water, politely decline. It is simply not worth it.

There is an alluring quality to its trashy story, and I loved the unexpected bites of pitch black humor which caught me off guard every time. But its lack of compelling twists (or really any twists whatsoever) zaps the movie of some needed energy.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

It’s all very slick, ideal for a 30-second cigarette advert, if people still made those.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 29, 2022

This film doesn't give the audience much in regards to context and having something for us to remotely root for. This was a slow burn that never really paid off.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 30, 2022

There's nothing remotely erotic about this movie. It felt like the actors were just tired throughout the making of this.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 30, 2022

Lyne tries to make an ode to jealousy as an aphrodisiac, and perhaps that makes sense to him, an 81-year-old man who found a gold mine in that kind of cinema seen today as fatuous, outdated and toxic. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 10, 2022

The movie is weirdly coy with its sex scenes (in that there are almost none of them) and it feels like there are chunks missing throughout obscuring the satisfaction of the inevitable escalation to full thriller.

| Original Score: C | Jun 7, 2022

It's a very silly movie, but watchable in its blatant ludicrousness.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 7, 2022
