There's no question that the depiction of the culture is rich, the cinematography generally excellent and the acting more or less sound. While I agree with other comments about the vagaries of Dunst's accent and how nice it would have... Full review

Like all good faerie-tales, Deeply's story is naturally predictable-- to avoid disappointment, focus on the quality of the telling, not the originality of the tale. The plot and literary devices are carbon copies of James Cameron's Titanic, while the cinematography... Full review

What saved Deeply from an acting standpoint was Lynn Redgrave's brilliant portrayal of Celia.
The brilliant young actress Julia Brendler should also get a mention for her Claire.
The acting goes from get this girl an award good to simply mediocre.

Deeply 's art direction, production design, cinematography, and editing were all lavished with nominations for upcoming awards.
Though Sergeant Howie's fate on Summerisle isn't entirely unpredictable, it's a far cry from Deeply , which deems it necessary to telegraph virtually every bend and turn in the plot well beforehand.

The story from the past gets drowned in its accumulation of absurdities, and the secret ending to the present-day story is expediently abrupt.....are well drawn, but Redgrave is too much the grand dame to ever let you forget she is Acting..... ... Full Review

Jam! Movies
This film does have a fresh, very Canadian perspective for us to savour.
The movie is visually striking.
Deeply is still an auspicious debut.
When the film does lurch back into contemporary times, it seems jarring.
