1 win & 1 nomination. See more awards » Edit Storyline In 1873 on Smutty Nose Island, a bleak island off the coast of New England, Louis Wagner is tried and hanged for the murder of two women. At the trial, the survivor of the murders, Norwegian immigrant Maren Hontvedt, recounts the events that led up to the murder of her sister and sister-in-law. In so doing, she reveals how she was caught in a loveless marriage and her repressed passion for her brother. Meanwhile, in the present-day, newspaper photographer Jean travels to the island off the New Hampshire coast with her husband Thomas, an award-winning poet, his brother Rich, and Rich's girlfriend Adaline. She is researching the murders of the two immigrant women. In a twist of fate, she discovers archived papers that appear to give an account of the murders. According to the papers, Norwegian immigrant Maren Hontvedt, survived the attack, which was allegedly done by Louis Wagner, who had once tried to seduce her. The plot unfolds the narrative of the papers and Hontvedt's testimony...
Jean privately struggles with jealousy as Adaline openly flirts with Thomas, who openly appreciates Adaline's topless beauty, along with her interest in his work. The movie ends with Hontvedt trying to confess before he is hanged, in vain, as the modern-day characters get caught in a severe storm, where reality and fantasy collide. Cast [ edit] Reception [ edit] On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 35% based on reviews from 65 critics. The site's critical summary reads, "The story is too muddled to build any interest". [3] On Metacritic the film has a score of 45% based on reviews from 22 critics. [4] Critics felt that Bigelow had not achieved as much weight with the fictional story of the present against her portrayal of the events of the past. Stephen Holden of The New York Times said, "There is so much to admire in The Weight of Water, Kathryn Bigelow's churning screen adaptation of a novel by Anita Shreve, that when the movie finally collapses on itself late in the game, it leaves you in the frustrating position of having to pick up its scattered pieces and assemble them as best you can.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2014 Verified Purchase Worth watching for Polley's scene stealing performance alone. Her story is told in flashback, as a journalist looks into the brutal murder of two women on a secluded Island in the early 20th century. Was the man tried and execusted for the murders actually innocent of the criemes? Ok Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2019 Verified Purchase Not a bad film wasn't sure what liz Hurley would be like she wasn't bad it helped that she has a very sexy body and looks great in a bikini 5. 0 out of 5 stars Great book, great movie Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2017 Verified Purchase This is one of my favourites, and the book is un-put-down-able:-) 3. 0 out of 5 stars The Weight Of Water. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2011 Verified Purchase An interesting concept of past history presented in modern day time. Told in flashbacks it could well be made as two stories. The real twist is the reason for the murder, wich I wont reveal to spoil it for other viewers.
Thanks Amazon. Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019 Verified Purchase I like the actors and actresses, the filming and the writing in this movie. It has an air of sofistication. Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020 Verified Purchase too many flash backs.... poor acting.... boring story.... don't know how this got 5 star reviews..... Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2018 Verified Purchase Condition was fine, and the disc worked OK but the actual movie a bit of a letdown.. like to have had more "history" included.. well, to each his own and it was entertaining in a half hearted sort of way? Top reviews from other countries 1. 0 out of 5 stars Sorry to say I didn't realise it a US import... Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2017 Verified Purchase Sorry to say I didn't realise it a US import & my Mac wouldn't play ball. Tried tricking it with VLC, but to no avail. However, the disc looks as though it's been kicked around a workshop floor. 4. 0 out of 5 stars Sarah Polley steals this movie.
In all a fascinating tale, also it gives Ms Hurley a chance to get her kit off.
As you can imagine there is plenty of tension between the two couples (in the cramped quarters of the sailboat) while Jean is doing her research and again it serves as more of a distraction to this story than a correlation between the people involved then and now. There are a few scenes throughout and near the end that can be considered a link to the killers actions/emotions in 1873 and Jean's actions/emotions. I really liked what was presented as the possible motive for the murders of the two women in 1873 that was so taboo back then as well as it is today. It negates the current story of the two couples like in a Massive Tsunami Wave kinda way. The acting was good as was the story of the murders, but the story of the two couples could of or should of been a story on its own. The sailboat and the two couples that bring extra (emotional) baggage onboard combined with bad weather equals a movie, but not in this one? The director and the writer were maybe a little to ambitious for this project and it became the weak link in this otherwise good movie.
