The Deep End does what too few films even attempt -- it takes an ordinary life and places it in an extraordinary situation just believable enough to be terrifying.

The Deep End is the year's best movie since Memento.

For all its genre trappings, this is an intelligent, probing study of an ordinary woman under extraordinary duress.

For the most part ... the filmmakers and performers invest a high level of intelligence and sympathy into The Deep End.

Swinton ... is for once deglamorized into an ordinary woman enlarged by extraordinary circumstances, and the role animates her wonderfully.
