Deeply

The first time I watched this film it stuck with me and 15 years later I wasn't disappointed as I watched it again. It's a story of loves lost and the healing that has to come after tragedy, sharing one girls story to help another girls pain and both find solace in the shared tale on a cold, bitter island that has known too much loss. The DVD itself i had no issues with. It was just as described.

This is a beautiful story, mixing an old story from past history with a modern tale. It's beautifully filmed, and while parts of the story are sad, there are also points of redemption before the end. Some reviewers felt it was a little open-ended, but I felt like the final scene wrapped it up well (and not in Hollywood style). It's not the same caliber as "The Secret of Roan Inish," but it's still very good. (As far as the low cost on this DVD, it was a great find. Thanks, Amazon!)

This is one of the most beautiful movies that I have ever seen. Perfect to find the romance among tragedy.

While I enjoyed the storyline and the setting of this movie, I could not help but be distracted by the variety of accents that where used. I have always admired an actor or actress' ability to fully envelop themselves in the character, including gaining an accurate accent to match the character's origin. To see a splendid example of this listen to Whoopi Goldberg in Clara's Heart. I have a friend who is from Jamaica and Whoopi speaks exactly as my friend does. This no doubt took a great deal of effort on the part of the actress and it adds to the whole flavor of the movie as much as background setting and costumes do!! Dunst's accent in Deeply is very very Southern United States! I was waiting for her to pop out a "ya'll". How did this southern belle come to be born on an island off of Nova Scotia? Dunst's father's character also seems to slip into "Southern" accent while many of the others islanders speak varying forms of what would be considered a New England or similar accent. Claire has what seems to be sporting a German accent while her own mother (who grew up an islander, has no Nova Scotia accent but speaks like an American. (??) Lynne Redgrave, who is the grown Celia does not have the same accent she had as a teen, also does not have the accent the rest of the islanders do. (??)Maybe I should not have been as distracted as I was by this, but to me it would be like filming a scene that was supposed to be in the Caribbean and in the background the viewer sees the Rockies.The movie is still worthwhile watching, just don't expect 100% authenticity.

The movie was riveting. Just as I remember it! It was so emotionally touching and engaging. Loved it! Will watch it again and again!

This is a wonderful movie full of folk tales and wonderful characters. I absolutely enjoyed Kristen Dunst accent in this movie.

Beautiful, Magical Love Story! A definite chick flick, but guys would like it too! A must see for those who love romance movies!

Enjoyed very much. Great acting by Jessica Turner.

Great movie!!!

Not very good, she is a good actor, he unfortunately is not; not much of a story line and no real romance or passion

... was soll man noch sagen, toller Film, tolle Aufnahmen, tolle Darsteller undeine tolle Kirsten Dunst - hier kommen ihre Fans wieder voll auf ihre Kosten!!!Ein zeitloser Film mit einer schön-traurigen Geschichte!!!

Great Thanks

There's a curse on a remote fishing island off th coast of Nova Scotia that has haunted the place since the days of the vikings. Every fifty years, the fish disappear and the ocean demands its payments, its justice, its sacrifice.It's an unspeakable tradition that some believe must be stopped, and caught in the middle of it all is a young woman who can tempt the spirit of the sea.Kirsten Dunst and Lynne Redgrave star in this powerful allegory that weaves the past and present into a rich, dramatic tapestry of life.
