SWIMMING (2002) ***1/2 Lauren Ambrose, Joelle Carter, Jennifer Dundas, Jamie Harrold, Joshua Harto, Josh Pais, Joe Roseto, Anthony Ruivivar, Sharon Scruggs. Wonderful low budget, indie sleeper gem about a young woman (Ambrose in a lovely performance whose expressive face is a marvel to behold) facing a future of boredom while working in her family's resort community hamburger joint in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina finds her life in sudden change when comely stranger (Carter) comes aboard as a waitress shaking things up for the better (and not so). Smart, funny and captivating in capturing what it feels like to be a girl becoming a woman and the awkwardness of it all. (Dir: Robert J. Siegel)
