What to Know

Critics Consensus

A talented cast and a pleasantly bittersweet spin on a familiar story help Sink or Swim finish a length or two ahead of the average feel-good comedy.

Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Selling a tragic-to-triumphant story arc repurposed from any number of similar crowd-pleasers, Lellouche is blessed with seasoned actors who know how to charm. Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The film boldly goes where no French film has gone before and with enough humour and heart to defuse such ungenerous thinking. Yes, it's a bit wet, but what else could it be? Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety As harmless as it is silly, but dampened by idle gags, empty characterization and an inordinate two-hour runtime. May 23, 2018 Full Review Gisela Savdie El Heraldo In spite of certain superficial parts, the movie makes us think how the human being is a victim of stereotypes [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Contrived, heavy-handed and underwhelming in spite of its charismatic cast. The filmmakers try too hard to please the audience without trusting their intelligence nor their emotions enough. Rated: 5.45/10 Sep 28, 2019 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall This is a solid feel-good movie, even if it's oddly unambitious and stretched out longer than necessary. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Amanda B I really enjoyed this. It has some laugh out loud moments. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Rosana B Comecei a assistir, e fiquei completamente apaixonada pelo roteiro, esses adultos, não tão jovens, mas ainda distante da terceira idade, frustrados e sem perspectivas, unidas no grupo de nada sincronizado, tudo muito singelo, delicado e poético... Uma pena eu ter perdido a oportunidade de finalizá-lo, pois saiu do escrete da Netflix, esperando uma oportunidade de concluí-lo... As cenas do nado sincronizado, me deu uma sensação tão gostosa e ao final a felicidade deles ao concluí-los, impagável... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Este é um filme intensamente irónico e agradável, mesmo que seja estranhamente pouco irreal e tenha um um final mais que épico. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Es una disfrutable película francesa; la trama es divertida y a la vez dramática, las actuaciones son buenas y las escenas de natación están bien dirigidas; es una buena opción para pasar un rato agradable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Rubens M Very strong cast, a wide range of interesting characters and backstories. The movie is about human flaws, it goes and stays for it. Very worth a while. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/21 Full Review Larry S Great story of triumph. A team of men each dealing with their own issues comes together to conquer the world. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/19 Full Review Read all reviews
