    Profoundly sorrowful, profoundly human, profoundly philosophical.

    One of the most incredible stories ever memorialized on film. I sat stunned when it was over. I've sailed small boats at the most elementary levels, but I can appreciate, in the most basic ways, the raw power of what these men faced. Breathtaking, moving, dazzling. Great film.

    A sad story, but well told, with respect for its subject and an eye for the Shakespearian tragedy in the tale.

    As it explores the limits of human endurance, the pic should suck even landlubbers into a whirlpool of gripping adventure, overblown ambitions and sheer human folly.

    Co-directors Louise Osmond and Jerry Rothwell have done a commendable job of making Deep Water . . . well, not boring.
