Sam Thielman: 'Deep Water' explores its two magnetic lead characters in ways that more expensive entertainment has mostly stopped attempting. - NBCNewsTHINK
Lyne’s movies have always excelled at depicting perverted emotion and sexual manipulation, and it’s hard not to be impressed by his skills here as well — even if grudgingly.
“Deep Water” explores its two magnetic lead characters, played by Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck, in ways that more expensive entertainment has mostly stopped attempting. Nowthis movie’s setup probably sounds familiar: A withdrawn man teeters on the brink of self-destruction, and can only be saved by a woman who refuses to be intimidated or dominated by him.
Like most good directors, Lyne is also interested in process — in showing, rather than telling — and where other films show the various steps involved in carrying out a murder, or a daring heist, Lyne shows us how Melinda and Vic try and fail and try again to get under each other’s skin, in ways pleasant and unpleasant.
Here, the “mystery” part isn’t who did it, or even how, but why, and whether he will be caught or get away with it.
