90A delicious little thriller about an uptight, ill-humored English mystery writer who becomes enmeshed in murder, Swimming Pool is at once comical, contrary, resourceful and ambiguous.
-
80Ultimately, Swimming Pool belongs to Ozon, and while incorporating a carefully measured, quietly menacing style that summons up vintage Hitchcock and Chabrol, he has made it unmistakably -- and entertainingly -- his very own.
-
60Even though it has some amusing moments, Swimming Pool crawls entirely too slowly toward -- well, toward nothing much.
-
38A hollow excuse for an erotic mystery.
