Our take
Here’s where it all started! Céline Sciamma’s fresh-from-film-school debut feature, starring Adèle Haenel, traces a young woman’s sexual awakening in the cut-throat world of synchronized swimming. Fresh, original, and candid, it perfectly captures the turmoil that swirls under seemingly calm waters.
