DAVID GREENE, HOST: Well, one battle to stay alive, "The Hunger Games," is likely to be the big movie hit this weekend. It's the movie based on a novel aimed at teenagers and young adults.</s>DAVID GREENE, HOST: If you are looking for a more mature film-going experience, Kenneth Turan suggests "The Deep Blue Sea." And here is his review.</s>KENNETH TURAN: This is a film as fiercely committed to passion as its heroine, and that's saying a lot. The time is around 1950; the city is a war-ravaged London. We watch as Hester Collyer, beautifully played by Rachel Weisz, methodically attempts to take her own life. Then we flash back to her past, her high status but conventional marriage to a judge whose family is ice-cold.</s>KENNETH TURAN: Hester is a woman whose belief in the deepest and most profound kind of love puts her at odds with both the men in her life and the drab, post-war British society she lives in.</s>KENNETH TURAN: The relationships between these three people - wife, lover, husband - plays out unexpectedly in "The Deep Blue Sea." Feelings change and characters take positions different from those you'd expect them to have. And in Weisz's hands, Hester's love never feels less than genuine and powerful. She allows us to experience how difficult existing between the devil and the deep blue sea truly is.</s>DAVID GREENE, HOST: The voice of Kenneth Turan, who reviews movies for MORNING EDITION and for the Los Angeles Times.
