Deep Water will twist your reality and wring out all inhibitions! Ben Affleck as Vic reminds us all why he still is Ben Affleck!

Parental Ranting

Language

The characters use a lot of strong language with s* and f* being very frequent. The general tone of language and address is often crass and derogatory.

Alcohol

Melinda drank a lot and there were many scenes where she talked about and came home completely inebriated. There are scenes of parties where everyone is drinking while dancing and swimming in the pool. There is also a disturbing scene where Vic is getting his young child, Trixie, drunk as well.

Violence

Vic is alleged to murder all the men whom his wife flirts and sleeps with. The movie showcases the murders as trophy scenes. Vic is seen drowning another man in a pool and then carry another one dead, into the river. Vic has aggressive confrontations and suggestive conversations of violence with other characters through the movie.

Nudity and Sexual Content

The movie is highly inappropriate for younger audience due to the blatant exaggerated sexual content. There is constant conversation revolving around sex. Graphic scenes show Melinda having sex in cars, in secret and with many different men!

Several graphic scenes pop in and out where there is nudity and sexual content. Melinda is seen topless walking around the house while the babysitter is seen standing uncomfortable in this situation. Later she is seen naked on her bed as Vic come into the bedroom. She shuffles through many scenes where she initiates sex and its many variations!
