[Weisz'] performance that transforms her from actress to movie star.

Slate
Now a new film of the play appears, adapted and directed by Terence Davies with Rachel Weisz in that stellar [Hester Collyer] role and with Rattigan's work in a freshening treatment.

The New Republic
4 stars out of 5 -- Echoes of BRIEF ENCOUNTER abound, and Davies deliberately courts them...it often plumbs similar depths.
Total Film
Davies has been able to shape the stage play to his strengths....It helps that Weisz, in one of her finest performances, opens herself beautifully to vulnerability and folly. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
The movie is an exquisite period piece, slow and dank, and unduly persuaded that it's rendering a classic.

Rating: 4/5 --
Davies has also fashioned one of the great films about building a profound macro-drama out of a single event or day.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
A haunting and intelligently drawn love story that lingers in the memory like a wisp of smoke caught in a sunbeam.

Product Description:
One of Terence Rattigan's most celebrated plays is given a new screen adaptation in this drama written and directed by Terence Davies. Hester Page (Rachel Weisz) is rescued in the midst of a suicide attempt by her landlady Mrs. Elton (Ann Mitchell) when she smells gas. As those around her ponder why a beautiful woman would choose such a fate, we learn that Hester is not really Hester at all -- she's actually Lady Collyer, the wife of well-known and respected judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale). However, Lady Collyer has never known love or satisfaction in her marriage, and she fell into an affair with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a former RAF pilot. Lady Collyer has become hopelessly infatuated with Freddie, leaving her husband and living with Freddie under an assumed identity. But the woman who now calls herself Hester soon discovers she loves Freddie far more than he loves her, and between his drinking and neglect for her, it seems she's given up her old life for one that has no future. This marks the second time THE DEEP BLUE SEA has been brought to the screen; Vivien Leigh starred in the 1955 version directed by Anatole Litvak.
