Miriam Balanescu Empire Magazine A moving story that manages to steer clear of the usual hammed-up adolescent angst. The result is a quietly powerful refresh of the coming-of-age genre. Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) ... A formidable debut. Rated: 4/5 Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Sunny, soulful, if a little montage-heavy at times, this is a more conventional film. Hekmat’s magnetic star quality, though, is unmistakable: she’s a free and fascinating presence. Rated: 3/5 Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Maria Lattila Film Stories Even with its flaws, though, Last Swim is a remarkable, sweet and profound feature from Nathwani. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Tom Dawson Radio Times Best of all is Hekmat, who crafts an impressive, persuasive character study of an ambitious young woman negotiating her British and Iranian identities, while being forced to confront her own mortality. Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder Beyond its darker subject matter, Last Swim is a film with immense heart and compassion for a generation riddled with uncertainty.
