A story like this has the ability to pull at your heartstrings and make your soul weep, to wonder how the world turned so cruel and be grateful for everything you have, The Swimmers missed on that opportunity. They made the protagonist a little too entitled and arrogant and while I understand she was young, I highly doubt she wasn't aware of the situation in her country and the sacrifices everybody around her made.
Overall though, the movie had some good shots, one that particularly stood out to me was the bombing while they danced in a high-rise, unaware the revolution had begun, which I imagine might have been the situation for many, the suddenness of live changing overnight. It's a good movie, it just had the promise of being much better.
Anyway, if you have read any of my other reviews, you'd know I'm a crier, but while this movie made me think, it didn't make my breaths shallow and let my mind travel in grief, it kept me there, watching some sports shots that didn't add to the movie.
