Pros:
1. The synchronized swimming scenes are well-choreographed and captivating to watch, especially the underwater scene near the beginning.
2. Adèle Haenel (Floriane) gives a really good performance, but was let down by the script.
Cons: 1. The lighting is often really flat, thus making the film visually unappealing. 2. The score, is at times, generic and is often used for cheap emotional manipulation. 3. Marie (Pauline Acquart) has nothing to her character aside from her desperate desire to get with Floriane. This makes it difficult to care about the events taking place. 4. The sub-plot featuring Anne (Louise Blachère) lusting after François (Warren Jacquin) is poorly-developed, needless, and uninteresting. 5. The movie is far too slow-paced, especially considering the lack of content. 6. The social commentary on slut-shaming and body positivity is jarringly inserted, and way too blunt. 7. The conflict, particularly between Marie and Anne, is terribly set-up, boring, and forced. 8. The sensual, lesbian-esque, scenes between Pauline Acquart and Adèle Haenel are uncomfortable and slightly disturbing to watch, as Pauline Acquart was 14 years old whereas Adèle Haenel was 18.
