I very rarely write a bad review, but felt I needed to for this.

I actually forced myself to sit through this, I really wish I hadn't. Apart from the daughter (who is beautiful).. everything else about this film was awful, up there with the worst films I've ever watched, and I've watched some stinkers trust me!!

Perhaps I didn't "get it" but I wasted 102 minutes of my life watching this, a film of which I add, I had high hopes for.… Expand

the story is just plain and not interesting the characters are dull, i felt like im watching a teenage film from Netflix, i was patient and hoped the movie would get better at the end but i couldn't wait i was getting bored of this mainly fillers and skipped forward and i am very thankful i did because the ending was really dumb.

i regret i wasted my time watching this terrible movie, so my final score is 1/10 strongly not recommended, one of the worst movies I've watched this year.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In one of the reviews written for this movie, I read this sentence: On the surface, everything is calm. This sentence seems to be a good description of the film and the overall cinematic atmosphere of Francois Ozon. He is one of the filmmakers of the new wave of French cinema and for me he is the most admirable of them. Ozon has made many long and short films and the filmmaker has a cinematic style and personality. One of the most important features of his cinema is the combination of the real world and the virtual world. In the movie "Swimming Pool", he was able to depict it beautifully and easily with the design of the space, cinematography and excellent decoupage, and at the same time, he was able to capture it and surprise the audience. The tone of his film)swimming pool) is such that it enters aspects of human life that are forbidden and taboo. The physical aspects and bodily and complexity of relationships have always been important in his films, and it is the same in swimming pools.
Swimming pool is a different and unconventional film that is very simple and very complex. The film is considered very strong in its cinematic structure. Framing is thought and calculated. I enjoyed watching this movie as much as Ozone's other works.… Expand
