Directed by Terence Davies, "The Deep Blue Sea" never quite grabbed me during it's runtime. In fact, I fell asleep during a few scenes and had to re-watch. It's not really a bad movie per say, but it feels too plodding and pedestrian. Non of the actors performances were bad, especially Rachel Weisz, but the texturing and fuzziness of the memory sequences were distracting. Director Davies has put together a movie that in facts feels much more like theatre or a play. (spoilers) Certainly best about it, is the frictional break-up and awkwardness of saying good-bye which helps with the conclusion, but there's something artificial and sort of stuffy along the way.
