Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Ravenswing There's no question that the depiction of the culture is rich, the cinematography generally excellent and the acting more or less sound. While I agree with other comments about the vagaries of Dunst's accent and how nice it would have been to see more authentic and less Enyaesque music, there's no need to belabor that. But ...how in the heck is a young naval officer so stupid as to pitch a permanent tent fifty feet from the shoreline in Newfoundland? what exactly (if anything) is Claire "sacrificing" at the end to get the fish to come back? why does a poor village in the back-of-beyond just abandon the village church after suffering a modest fire, without just repairing it? why would a capable, experienced young woman such as Silly do nothing more than scream while James is drowning? Fishing villages have life-threatening situations all the time, and there is ample rope even on a small schooner to throw to a fellow no more than 15 yards from the boat.Why is Claire's mother so supremely stupid as to not figure out why dragging her daughter to Nowhere, NF, could possibly bore her? (Oh, and exactly where was the cell tower so she could use her cell phone, anyway?) There are just a few too many such flaws to sustain suspension of disbelief, and combined with plot elements of such subtlety -- is the doctor Silly's father, for instance? -- as to be impenetrable, it's not a movie I'd go out of my way to see again.5/10.

boomerlover06 I really love this movie. I've seen it on WE (Women's Entertainment). It's brilliantly directed, and the actresses and actors are great. It's different from any other kind of movie that I have seen, which is a plus. I love how the movie runs parallel to Celia's traumatic experiences. I think Kirsetn Dunst does a pretty awesome job in this film. The only thing that really bothered me was her accent. Trent Ford is adorable and is spectacular. I really would recommend this movie to anyone. I don't think it is just a chick flick. I mean, some guys would probably gag at it at times, but if they admire film making and are a serious movie watcher, they would enjoy it.

Damien V. I watched this film today. It aired on WE (Women's Television) -- I am not a woman, but that fact does not disqualify me from knowing that this film is brilliantly directed, brilliantly acted and brilliantly written. Why do I get the feeling that DEEPLY has been relegated to "Chick Flick" TV-land? In my opinion it's far better than any film I've seen at my local Multiplex this year -- far far better.I am not familiar with Sheri Elwood's work as a director, but if this is what she can do on a semi-low budget, bring in the big guns, fellas, because this woman has mega-talent. Don't you powerbrokers out there in Hollywood take the time to watch films like this? Where do you think artistically gifted and talented directors come from -- NYU Film School? Think again and do your homework.This movie gets a 9 out of 10 -- one point lost because of the confusing accents. Dunst sounds like Scarlet O'Hara after she'd been stranded on of the Channel Islands for a few decades.Damien DamienWasHere@aol.com

lizscher I was touched by this moving film. Kirsten Dunst gives one of her best performances as a girl struggling to understand the world around her and the hidden secrets of her town. Relative newcomer Trent Ford shows promise in his pivotal role. A must see.
