"The Deep End may be preposterous but it's an engagingly moody experience nonetheless."

—

Slant Magazine

"One of the most invigorating experiences of the summer."

—

USA Today

"Its self-awareness is never less than jarring -- trash too high-minded to come out and indulge itself."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"A rather dull movie, weighed down by its pretensions."

—

BBC

"A beautifully made melodrama that succeeds on formal levels more than it does with emotion."

—

Variety

"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."
