Sink or Swim Reviews

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

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.

| Original Score: 5.45/10 | Sep 28, 2019

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.

This is a solid feel-good movie, even if it's oddly unambitious and stretched out longer than necessary.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2019

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?

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Sink or Swim has fewer nips and tucks than your average feel-good comedy. And that's a large part of its attraction.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 15, 2019

The cast is very solid, the musical selection enjoyable and the result is as conventional as you would expect. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 14, 2019

A film like this, so defined by its narrative formulas, does not give the spectator great surprises, but like any movie that has as its starting point an interesting topic, leaves the door wide open for a relevant debate. [Full Review in Spanish]

Very funny. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 11, 2019

Sink or Swim succeeds due to its melancholy and secret dose of bitterness. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jun 10, 2019

A simple and honest film with an acting dream team. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2019

Although the film does not have a set protagonist, the film falls on Mathieu Amalric who provides a lot of profundity and detail to the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 6, 2019

The team's coach Delphine in one moment tells the team that they are "looking for grace" and without a doubt, the one who did not find it is the director of this film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 5, 2019

In the end, the film's message about brotherhood and the fight against adversity and prejudice is worth the price of admission. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 14, 2019

A feel good film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2019

Quality cinema. [Full Review in Spanish]

| May 3, 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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 1, 2019

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2019

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 11, 2019

Lellouche, without completely spoiling his work, confuses the personal triumph with the collective title in an excessively imposed outcome. [Full Review in Spanish]
