For Enthusiasts Of Swedish Cinema Only
16 June 2020 | by StrictlyConfidential – See all my reviews

Just like the Swedish films "Patrik Age 1.5" and "The Square" - "The Swimsuit Issue" is yet another picture from that country that I found to be overwhelmingly disappointing and, yes, downright boring, as well.

I thought that this movie's story-line was so irritatingly contrived and the actors' performances so annoyingly self-conscious that it took all of the patience that I could possibly muster in order to sit through it from start to finish.

(IMO) - "The Swimsuit Issue" had "Made-For-TV-Movie" written all over it.
