Pływak Ratings & Reviews
- Dudu_Steel7 czerwca 2025Fantastic storytelling and gripping from start to finish.
- Admin27 marca 2025I’m still thinking about this months after seeing it, so it must be a classic. Everyone who lived in the second half of the 20th century knew a Neddy. I see the character as being part of that "Mad Men" Don Draper demographic born sometime between the "Greatest Generation," and the boomers. Lancaster does a remarkable job portraying a character that is probably supposed to be 10-15 years younger. Looking back almost 60 years now, I think it would've been worthy of an Oscar nomination.
- cultfilmliker25 marca 2025Believe it or not, this guy loves swimming. And fucking. But swimming more. Dude harassed a woman and assaulted another in the first 15 minutes. Wild! I guess being born in the 1910’s was wild too. Burt could have at least learned how to dive. How many people “own” the second property? Very confused by that The belly comment made me incredibly uneasy 🙃 I didn’t know there was a White Lotus in Connecticut!
- Mister Arn22 maja 2025"The Swimmer" is a character study, and it's watchable because Lancaster makes it that way. There were a lot of scenes between pools where they tried to use music and camera movement to create interest, which didn't work. It's worth watching, but it's not Lancaster's best character study type film.
- David Daniel22 kwietnia 2025A remarkable film, Cheever's Odyssey, brilliantly brought to the screen by the intrepid Frank Perry. Unfortunately Sam Spiegel lost faith in the film, fired Perry, reshot and re-edited adding discordant scenes
