Reviews for The Deep End of the Ocean
Grosbard...forgets the need for character motivation, point of view, or anything else that might make this compelling subject an interesting film.
Well-acted but pedestrian TV-like melodrama what what consitutes a family, or sociology versus biology in the kinship debate.
a flawed but often effective family drama that turns on the deepest fear of every parent or guardian: that one dumb move, a single moment of neglect that can turn the rest of your life inside out.
Sometimes in tragedies healing can only take place when love means letting go.
