Sink or Swim (Le grand bain) [Sub: Eng]
Although there are more challenges, these people decided to go into a new experience. A group of 40 people decided to form their first synchronized pool team to challenge the doubts and ridicule of those around them, and train them by a falling champion. It may be a new challenge in their lives during an unlikely adventure for them. But in the end, it seems that everyone will rediscover a little self-esteem and a lot about themselves from mysterious and wonderful things.

In light of France's yellow vests movement, it's not hard to see in [director Gilles Lellouche's] escapist fantasy a concern for [France's] social breakdown. [Full review in Spanish]

If you give in to its Gallic male-bonding charms, it swims more often than it sinks, thanks to a cracking cast, solid direction and cinematography, and lightly comedic touch.

It's a difficult balance of genres that Lellouche does not manage with special ability. [Full Review in Spanish]

The humour is broad and sometimes I cringed. It doesn't have the subtlety or pain of The Full Monty, and at times it's as focussed as the random splashing when they first jump in. But its highlighting of the social and health issues men face is welcome.

The tone is heavy-handed, the solutions are more than predictable and the surprises minimum. [Full review in Spanish]
May 14, 2018
A sluggish two hours that delivers only in a triumphant final act that's as improbable as it is inevitable.
December 27, 2018
Not quite The Full Monty, but Sink or Swim is no half-baked premise either.
January 10, 2019
Lellouche, without completely spoiling his work, confuses the personal triumph with the collective title in an excessively imposed outcome. [Full Review in Spanish]
February 28, 2019
It's lightweight, predictable, and a bit improbable for sure, with a pop soundtrack-Paul McCartney, Tears for Fears-that keeps the pace bouncing along.
May 23, 2018
As harmless as it is silly, but dampened by idle gags, empty characterization and an inordinate two-hour runtime.

Exquisite music from John Brion. [Full Review in Spanish]
