Swimming (2000)
9/10
Fantastic and touching coming-of-age.

Warning: Spoilers
Growing up, friendship and coming-of-age in South Carolina was not meant to be easy for Frankie Wheeler (Lauren Ambrose). And how can she get into a teenage romance, when she has such a low self esteem and no pride in her physical appearance. Frankie does enjoy her friendship with Nicola (Jennifer Dundas Lowe), but when some newcomers show up in town, her deep bond with Nicola is marred with jealousy.

Miss Ambrose was quickly in my heart and my mind. The whole atmosphere impressed me enough to overlook some of the lack of acting. In total, the characters and relationships made me wish for a longer run time.

The cast also features Joelle Carter, Joshua Harto, James Villemaire and Jamie Harrold.
