Wendy Ide Screen International May be better suited to its original form as a novel than to the slightly scattershot approach of this film. Still, there’s a disconcerting, jarring quality to the story that is hard to shake... Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Lugubrious, laborious and ridiculous – this movie version of Deborah Levy’s celebrated novel Swimming Home is frankly uncomfortable in the most wrong way possible. Rated: 2/5 Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US Though its conclusion may leave some confused or displeased, this film does still boast strong visuals that make for an alluring experience, portraying a landscape that anyone would want to visit even if the people within it feel treacherous. Rated: B- Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture “Swimming Home’s” ostentatious nature is beyond obnoxious. Anderson desperately wants to exude a haunting allure that ends up being neither as intriguing nor as sensually captivating as it thinks it is. Rated: 3/10 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Chris Cassingham In Review Online These domestic troubles take some coaxing out of Anderson’s oblique, stuttering script, which is defined as much by its gaps in narrative logic as it is by its outright thematic bluntness. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Leonardo Goi The Film Stage Swimming Home kicks off as a simmering psycho-sexual thriller in the vein of Jacques Deray’s 1969 La Piscine––or its 2015 remake by Luca Guadagnino, A Bigger Splash––only to trade that initial disquiet for something far more turgid. Rated: C Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
