      Victor O I'm slowly and steadily becoming a fan of Peyton R. List, so in my recommendations list, this happens to show up. I didn't think much about it, but I decided to check it out. I am glad that I did, as this was a decent film. Claire Carpenter is an accomplished swimmer, but after an embarrassing incident, she is forced to accept her glory days are behind her. But her equally accomplished father will not allow her to waste her summer in apathy, so he sends her to train a swim team in Australia. At first, it only seems to continue her apathetic attitude, but over time she begins to adjust, make friends, and find a new sense of purpose. All of it leads to a finale that brings her redemption. I am truly enjoying Peyton R. List as an actress, and this adds a more than welcome notch to the list of movies I have enjoyed with her so far. A good movie, fun for the whole family. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Sean S The best part of this movie is the beautiful locations it shows. I respect the fact that they tried to make a coming-of-age movie centered around swimming. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/23 Full Review Audience Member As a swimmer, I went into this movie thinking I was going to like it. However the acting is horrible, the cinematography is laughable and you're probably going to have a better time watching a Michael Phelps documentary than this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute and fun and Peyton List-y! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Average watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend unless you're just into swimming / swimming movies. I already knew Peyton List could carry a movie, and Olivia Nardini is amazing, but this story carries a level of psychological nuance that I don't think it conveys properly. Partly because it hides the nuance in some of the characters as an unnecessary reveal later on, and partly because they just fail to have the character address it directly. A lot of the movie is her just being a sullen jerk or an angry jerk, but the movie is fairly enjoyable. I think that is mostly due to the great character work by the cast. While I don't think this movie is a waste of your time, there are just better things to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Trash. Bad acting, stuffed with Disney Channel humor. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
