User review:

Deep End follows youngster Dane, who doesn’t react very well when his older brother reveals that he’s gay. Dane is furious and would have preferred it if his sibling had kept his secret, but when some of his friends ask him to side with them on some homophobic abuse they’re planning, Dane has to decide whether to defend his brother or not. Deep End is short, sweet and although perhaps a tad too simplistic at times, it’s involving and there are a few moments that are genuinely touching. It’s a film dealing with fears that many will have had about coming out – such as family rejection – and has a good message in the end.
