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.

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

Even with its flaws, though, Last Swim is a remarkable, sweet and profound feature from Nathwani.

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.
