Critic Reviews
-
Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
Well-observed but self-consciously studied family drama.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Practices a writerly movie poetry, which -- at its best -- is delicately elegiac.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Eventually drowns from dramatic inertia.
-
Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com
an emotional movie that draws you in with its heart and ambition, even if the storytelling and dialogue need some help.
-
Daniel Wible, Film Threat
If you're a lover of the finest in film acting and potent drama, Swimmers is one of those 'smaller' films you won't want to miss.
