Flashbacks while in the water to the often harsh treatment of the girls by their overbearing father are more intrusive than informative. In the end, The Dive is an admirable niche film for a limited audience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2023

“The Dive” feels routine, a soggy journey from point A to point B that doesn’t do anything interesting enough to make it stand out in the dog days of summer.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 25, 2023

The Dive uses its underwater setting to add new thrills to a formulaic survivalist story, even if its attempts at emotional depth end up feeling a little shallow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2023

While perhaps not quite striking enough in style or incident to leave a lasting impression, this very well-crafted remake... should particularly impress with its underwater photography on the big screen.

Moments... are pumped up on cinematic adrenaline, but a faffy backstory drains the tension.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2023
