Music too irritating stretching out the , even more , irritatingly going nowhere film. I tried to open my art house heart by telling myself they are doing such a great job of acting and the sets are wonderful thus i need to appreciate this film. But, i couldn't make myself like it. Maybe i was in the wrong mood. I don't think so , though. The show is about 3 self absorbed characters each of which is missing a gigantic ability to live in reality. The 2 love birds are on the road to love creating a tough road for themselves indeed. The land lady hit the nail on the head when pointing out real love is cleaning up someone's 'stuff'. The 'love birds' are immature folks working their way to , hopefully , the real thing someday. Self pity is an ugly thing. Watching the main characters mope around in self pity calling 'romantic love' and 'obsession' and working through their 'issues' and 'lust' , love gets old especially when violins are playing in the background trying to make me think this is interesting. All of them lack spunk or anything interesting about them other than they are supposed to be 'heavy'. The movie is 'heavy' , too heavy for me to carry.

Plot is plodding and pointless and the characters are unsympathetic. The dialog literally put me to sleep and music reminds me of a funeral dirge. I usually love Rachel Weisz as an actress so I was surprised to find her in such an awful movie. Her cuckold of a husband makes any man in love ashamed and fearful to admit that any man could possibly act in such a spineless manner. The boyfriend is such a cad that it is impossible to see anything from his pointy of view other than agreeing with his actions to escape the clingy partnership he found himself in. the worst character of all was Rachel Weisz's which is a clingy neurotic shell of a woman who has no self worth.

The Deep Blue Sea is a period romance focusing on Hester (Rachel Weisz), the wife of a judge who embarks on an affair with the reckless RAF pilot Freddie (Tom Hiddleston). However, overcome with a mixture of guilt and disappointment that her new life isn't quite what she'd hoped, she makes a dramatic decision which has disastrous consequences for herself and her relationships.This film has quite a poignant story – it focuses a lot on emotion and doubt which are highly relatable even outwith the situation of the story itself. The period setting gives it a somehow more romantic edge and it really is an interesting love story. You can't help but understand the problems that Hester experiences with her troubled life, and the "grass is greener" feeling that draws her towards a seemingly more exciting life with Freddie. The story ebbs and flows in parallel with Hester's feelings, and at times takes some dark turns. Despite the story being good, I felt really let down by the direction – the scenes constantly switch between present day and very recent flashbacks with little discerning detail as to which is which. I found myself lost at many points during the film, unable to work out where it was in the story and having to rely on the odd bit of choice dialogue that would reveal the time setting. This is sadly very off-putting and took away from the punch that the script would have had otherwise.Despite the scene confusions, Weisz and Hiddleston offer a beautiful, if difficult, romance that is really set alive by the strengths of them as actors. Weisz is on top form with a powerful but vulnerable performance, and Hiddleston suits the role of the troubled romantic (his character in this reminded me a lot of his role in "Only Lovers Left Alive" (2014) in which he was incredible). There was also good performances from smaller characters, most notably Hester's husband Sir William (Simon Russell Beale) who's role was vulnerable and gentle, an opposite to the rival of his wife's affections.The Deep Blue Sea is quite a powerful and interesting love story, but sadly I felt that the possibility of this film being a great classic romance was tarnished somewhat by the lack of clarity in time shifts. Nevertheless, the story is good and it's worth a watch for the excellent characters and script.

"The Deep Blue Sea" is a tale of adultery from almost the same provenance and time period as the classic "Brief Encounter" by David Lean. In fact, "Sea" is almost what "Encounter" might have been had it been drained of much of its romance, joy and passion. For while, in spite of their obvious misgivings, the couple in "Encounter" clearly enjoyed being in one another's company, the same can not necessarily be said of the lovers here, who seem to share very few moments of genuine joy and happiness throughout the course of their relationship.The 1952 Terrance Rattigan play focuses on Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz), the young, attractive wife of an elderly judge (Simon Russell Beale) who falls in love with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), an ex-RAF pilot, in post-WW II London. In a bold move for the time, Hester leaves her husband and moves into a flat with Freddie, but we know immediately that things are not going well, for, as the movie opens, we find Hester attempting suicide, with much of the rest of the story exploring, through a combination of contemporary and flashback scenes, how she's reached this low point of desperation.One of the key elements of the Rattigan play is that it is scrupulously fair to all its characters. The author has no interest in casting stones at any of the people involved in the situation, for each is shown to be a fully-realized human being, with all the virtues and flaws that come along with that status. The emotions and relationships remain multi- layered, ambiguous and complex, and writer/director Terence Davies' spare, almost claustrophobic style perfectly captures the airless, dimly lit world these characters inhabit - something akin to a tableau vivant depiction of frustration and unhappiness.As the woman caught between natural lust, a desire for freedom, and the stiff-upper-lipped propriety of the society around her, Rachel Weiscz delivers a thoughtful, moving performance, and she is matched every step of the way by a superb supporting cast. Despite the often drastic changes in social mores that have occurred since the time of the story, "The Deep Blue Sea," with its keen insights into the nature of the human heart, remains universal and relevant to today.
