One of this year's better studies of the human soul.
A spooky, moving documentary.
Disturbing, unnerving and wire-to-wire involving, Deep Water is the story of a dream that got so wildly out of hand that it ensnared the dreamer in an intricate trap of his own devising.
As Crowhurst's situation grows desperate, the scope of the film expands -- from a good yarn to a haunting, complex tale of self-promotion, media madness, self-delusion and, finally, self-destruction.
Again and again you want to shout at the screen: â??Turn back. All will be forgiven.â? This tale of risk, though, ends not with man conquering nature but in calamitous failure.
