Summary: horrible
Review: saw this movie in the theatre and demanded my money back upon leaving. a group of us were stunned at how bad this film was. strangers otherwise leaving the theatre were united in anger, frustration and utter amazement that the reviews were even close to good let alone raving about this movie. what a horrible waste. save yourself the trouble.

Summary: Too Much Hype Too Much Praise
Review: I rented this film and just finished watching it today, reading alot about the movie beforehand i did have high expectations, And although i am gonna give this movie another view(and no not only for Ludivine Sagnier although very hot) i must say i was dissapointed, not much of a thriller, and i can hardly believe this film is being called "suspense"?!?!!? I cant say i hated it though... the reviews are very misleading. Iam gonna give it one more try but for now it is a well acted softcore (...) 3 stars....Iam gonna give it another view maybe it will change my mind

Summary: Always hoping for more but got robbed
Review: My wife and I both watch with anticipation for somthing, anything, even a hint of excitement and when there seems to be a slight glint, it was proven to be quickly snubbed out. Some will say "I didn't get the movie", I would say "we got the movie". French's obsession with eroticism and youth definately showed up here and nothing else. Soft porn drama would be a better description of this movie.

Summary: Conflict and Voyeurism
Review: Sarah Morton is a successful British writer who is tired of her patronizing publisher. Working through writer's block, the publisher suggests she spend quality time at his chateau in southern France. Unfortunately for Sarah, the publisher's daughter Julie shows up unannounced. The rest of the story is a slowly building, tense 'face off' between the two women. A quiet countryside manor with a pool and two women battling for their independence from each other makes for surprising conflicts and liaisons. Jealousy, intolerance and voyeurism all form strong motifs in what seems to be a simple murder mystery. The plot has the viewer constantly guessing about the motives and reasons behind every action or comment. Even when things seem finished and wrapped up; there is a shocking twist that would make Hitchcock proud.Note: Theatrical trailer is included and there are some deleted scenes, but they add no insight to the film or it's direction.

Summary: I think most people watched a different movie than I did...
Review: ...including the Amazon reviewer. Everything with the pretty, sexually active teenager was imaginary -- part of the writer's next novel. The publisher's real daughter was not as attractive and behaved more like a normal teenage girl. You see her at the end of the movie. Remember? The author writes murder mysteries? Quite well done, but not really a five-star movie.

Summary: Ummmm......didn't get it.
Review: It took me two days to finish watching this movie. I kept waiting for something, anything to happen. Yes, there is nudity...but we can see that anytime on cable. I found the relationship between the characters forced and unbelievable, no real connection. It was just plain boring to me. The only positive that I will give is the French scenery & the cinematography.

Summary: The Evanescencing of Sexual Security
Review: "Swimming Pool" is a bold and daring film. Not for the prudish viewer, the film is a complex look and sexuality and identity. However, this is not a genre film. The film is something of a phsycho-drama, something of an erotic narrative. From cinematography to acting, the production quality was absolutely first rate. Above all, though, the film was intelligent, provocative, and insightful. The plot works more on the intellect of the viewer than the characters... Additionally, the psychology of the film, though socially controversial, hits to the heart of what it is to be a woman subject to time as a writer struggles to cohere the various desideratum of a fragmented female identities. Most poignantly, the film forwards the problem of sexuality versus intellectual identity and ellucidates the anxiety born of wanting both equally. A must see for anyone, male or female, interested in a thrilling and provocative examination of sex, society, and maturing identity.
