Swimming for Gold

While the main actress is Peyton List whom is American, this is an Australian film. You can find several excellent movies from there in any genre, action, horror, romance, drama, etc... so don't make them think otherwise. This particular movie may not be excellent but it's quite enjoyable if you're looking for a young sports romantic comedy.

Clearly, these people have never seen nor talked to anyone that has actually swam competitively before. A little research into the role can go a long way...

Many scenes are filmed in places of outstanding beauty, and the people are really look looking too. The story is engaging and fun to watch. I enjoyed it a lot.

Average watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend unless you're just into swimming / swimming movies.

I already knew Peyton List could carry a movie, and Olivia Nardini is amazing, but this story carries a level of psychological nuance that I don't think it conveys properly. Partly because it hides the nuance in some of the characters as an unnecessary reveal later on, and partly because they just fail to have the character address it directly.

A lot of the movie is her just being a sullen jerk or an angry jerk, but the movie is fairly enjoyable. I think that is mostly due to the great character work by the cast.

While I don't think this movie is a waste of your time, there are just better things to watch.

Quite seriously. Don't waste your time. It was predictable, acting was bad and it wasn't even funny. Perhaps if you had young children it may have some redeeming value but we had to walk out half way. It was terrible. Sorry
