Sink or Swim
French dramedy about a bunch of folks at low points in their lives doing men's synchronized swimming. it's not as crowd-pleasing as The Full Monty or the Swedish film with men's syncro from a few years ago. it was solidly okay, a pleasant time-filler. I was there for the sports movie and they were making a character study...except for the one PoC on the team, who didn't have any lines in French nor was he subtitled and he had no backstory/arc. I'm feeling pretty down on French film lately.
