Sink or Swim (Le grand bain) [Sub: Eng]
Description
There are 40 people all on the brink of midlife crisis deciding something amazing in a short time. These men decided to form the first pool team synchronized with their ambitions to enter a new challenge. There seems to be a new challenge to the doubts and ridicule of those around them, trained by a fallen champion. Despite everything that happens, everyone will rediscover a little self-esteem and much more about themselves in a new comedy adventure.

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

The humour is broad and sometimes I cringed. It doesn't have the subtlety or pain of The Full Monty, and at times it's as focussed as the random splashing when they first jump in. But its highlighting of the social and health issues men face is welcome.
December 27, 2018
Not quite The Full Monty, but Sink or Swim is no half-baked premise either.
January 07, 2019
In light of France's yellow vests movement, it's not hard to see in [director Gilles Lellouche's] escapist fantasy a concern for [France's] social breakdown. [Full review in Spanish]

It's a difficult balance of genres that Lellouche does not manage with special ability. [Full Review in Spanish]
May 14, 2018
A sluggish two hours that delivers only in a triumphant final act that's as improbable as it is inevitable.
December 17, 2018
If you give in to its Gallic male-bonding charms, it swims more often than it sinks, thanks to a cracking cast, solid direction and cinematography, and lightly comedic touch.
February 28, 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.
May 14, 2018
The tone is heavy-handed, the solutions are more than predictable and the surprises minimum. [Full review in Spanish]
January 31, 2019
Exquisite music from John Brion. [Full Review in Spanish]
May 23, 2018
As harmless as it is silly, but dampened by idle gags, empty characterization and an inordinate two-hour runtime.
