Our take

Venturing into the wild world of male synchronized swimming, Gilles Lellouche’s uplifting comedy does not merely dip its toes in the pool of midlife crisis but takes a whole plunge! Once jaded by life, Mathieu Amalric’s adorably awkward husband learns to stretch his limbs—and his emotional horizon.
