Co-directors Louise Osmond and Jerry Rothwell's historical documentary Deep Water chronicles one of the most infamous nautical tragedies of the past several decades. In autumn 1968, Britisher Donald Crowhurst, the proprietor of a down-and-out manufacturing business for marine electrical components, avowed to enter the first Golden Globe sailing competition -- a nonstop, one-man circumnavigational race against eight other competitors. In financing the boat via a deal with English entrepreneur Stanley Best, Crowhurst used his house as collateral. Relinquishing the voyage, or failing to complete it, would thus have instantly rendered Crowhurst homeless and driven his family into Chapter 11. But the voyage was doomed from the start: Crowhurst failed to finish building the craft prior to his October 31st departure, but set sail just the same, and thus sealed his own grim fate. Indeed, two weeks after Crowhurst sailed out of Devon, the boat began to leak substantially; recognizing that a trip into the Southern Ocean could spell disaster, a desperate Crowhurst radioed home with indications of phony distances and falsified his logbook; he then made an illegal pit stop in Argentina to repair the boat, and joined up with the rest of the competitors on the opposite side of Cape Horn, in the Atlantic. When Robin Knox-Johnston won the overall competition, Crowhurst and Nigel Tetley went head-to-head to win 5,000 pounds for the fastest voyage; Crowhurst recognized that a victory would yield scrutiny of his logbooks and unveil his deceptions to the world; he thus intended to preserve his reputation by coming in second. He didn't count, however, on Tetley's boat capsizing -- which led to Crowhurst's own victory. Foreseeing disaster, Crowhurst decided to end his life by drowning himself. In telling Crowhurst's sad story, Osmond and Rothwell intercut narration from Crowhurst's journals, archival film, and interviews with the sailor's family, friends, and colleagues. What emerges is a portrait of a man sinking rapidly into a pit of despair as he comes face to face with his own darkest nightmares of personal failure. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

New Review For Movie Deep Water
The details just get stranger and stranger.Jason Anderson-Globe and Mail
As directed by Louise Osmond and Jerry Rothwell, the movie breezes along at a highly watchable clip, thanks to fluid, affecting intercutting of archival, black-and-white footage and present-day interviews.
Desson Thomson-Washington Post
Some beautiful shots give unexpected texture to the film, such as an underwater capture of a boat from below, with prisms of light surrounding it. And its final image is a quiet heartbreaker.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
For this gripping and amazing documentary, such truth emerges not just from the facts, but also the poetry of men who redefine themselves in a risky race on small sailboats.
Bruce Westbrook-Houston Chronicle
Deep Water is a stunning documentary that not only beautifully elucidates a nearly forgotten incident but touches on crucial themes involving isolation, sanity, self-worth, impossible dreams, the nature of heroism and limits of human endurance.
Kirk Honeycutt-Hollywood Reporter
One of this year's better studies of the human soul.
G. Allen Johnson-San Francisco Chronicle
engaging
Blake French-Filmcritic.com
I do think the movie loses focus at times, but nevertheless, this is a pretty interesting story into madness.
Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine
As a portrait of obsession, competition and, finally, delusion, Deep Water is haunting and engrossing, and one of the best nonfiction movies of the year.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly
This is fascinating stuff... that would be better served by a magazine article or book.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
The film evokes a visceral understanding of solitude at sea.
Toddy Burton-Austin Chronicle
Deeply researched and compellingly presented, Deep Water is as much about one man's misadventures on the ocean as it is about loneliness, desperation and the danger of dreams.
Jason Ferguson-Orlando Weekly
Not merely a documentary portrait, but an engrossing drama with more twists and turns than your average thriller.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
This is pretty heady stuff, and it's constantly enthralling, particularly for something that has to use so much second-hand information.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
This well crafted and engaging documentary is a ripping yarn of a man's mansize adventure going horribly wrong.
Urban Cinefile Critics-Urban Cinefile
...the less said about this film the better. It's that good.
Michael Sragow-Baltimore Sun
This was a story that made front pages in its day but has been largely lost to history, and now is brought bracingly and compellingly back to life.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
With the discovery of films and audiotape from the first solo, non-stop nautical race around the globe, Deep Water promises to take us where we have never been.
Bill White-Seattle Post-Intelligencer
This isn't primarily an adventure story, though it's very suspenseful; it's first and foremost a profoundly sad tale of human frailty.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion
But more startling are the original tape recordings and 16mm films made by the solitary competitors as they spent more than ten months alone trying to sail around the globe.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org
It is a sad, finely crafted documentary that must not be missed, if you call yourself a real film buff.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
...a compelling portrait of a man who is terminally befuddled and ends up abandoning his wife and children because he can't face the music.
