Two parts psychological thriller and one part pretentious French art-house head-scratcher that leaves you mumbling, 'Duh.'
Rex Reed, New York Observer

Swimming Pool offers something few other movies this summer can match: A dreamy, intoxicating sensuality.

The story occasionally wanders, but Swimming Pool is definitely worth a dip.

A delectable and daring psychological drama.
