Deep Water Ending Explained (In Detail)
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Deep Water (2022).
The Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas-starring psychological thriller, Deep Water, ends with another twist for Vic and Melinda’s dangerous mind-games. Directed by Adrian Lyne, who is known for his past erotic thrillers and dramas like 1987's Fatal Attraction and 1993's Indecent Proposal, Deep Water is a twisted tale of the seemingly loveless marriage between Vic (Ben Affleck) and Melinda Van Allen (Ana de Armas). Adapted from the 1957 novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith, Hulu’s Deep Water crafts a new ending to the story that adds more complex nuances to the characters’ high-stakes romance.
Deep Water, which is primarily told from the perspective of Vic, follows the manipulative couple as they raise their 6-year-old daughter in a tight-knit community where gossip spreads like wildfire. Since Vic lacks a certain passion that Melinda seeks, the couple has entered an agreement in which Ana de Armas’ character is allowed to take lovers as long as she doesn’t break up their family. Deep Water sees the couple’s publicly-broadcasted arrangement take a twisted turn when Vic begins to crack, which leads to dire consequences for those who get caught in the middle of their growing mind-games.
