Swimming Pool

Generally regarded as a thriller with a twist ending, this film neither thrills nor surprises in the end. Which isn't to say it's not an okay movie. (It does have Ludivine Sagnier in one of her finer roles, and an English-speaking one at that. She brings her unique, French pronunciation to lines like, "He's the king of orgies, didn't you know?") It's just, let's be honest about what we're watching.
