i actually thought this is a comedy and sat watching it expecting to laugh my ass off. pretty soon in became clear this is no comedy, or at least not a 'Jim Carrey type' one. what kept we watching was the characters - the movie starts with some pretty grim, troubled people, gathered together to try and fight one of their basic fears - fear of water, fear of swimming. we start to get bit by bit into their lives, witness their troubles, guess of their thoughts.
actually i made it look much darker than it actually is, and besides the chain of events soon brings some light and hope to their lives.
i probably wouldn't have watched the movie had i known its not a comedy but rather a drama, but i had good time, enjoyed the story and don't mind i spent about 90 minutes with it.
many films treat the alienation between people in the western world, this movie shows how people can get together and help each other
"and if in the light of dying day you meet her, don't let her pass you by and leave, don't loose her, she is your gift from the sun..."
9/10
peace and love
