Premiere "...The narrative logic of SWIMMING POOL slips through our hands like cool water, shimmery and light-dappled, leaving behind the pleasures of summer heat and goose bumps..." Entertainment Weekly "...It's Sagnier, a young Bardot, who lifts the movie, and Rampling, 58, who gives it nuance..."Rolling Stone "...As the story takes shape, Mr. Ozon, Ms. Rampling and Ms. Sagnier complicate it in subtle and fascinating ways....Simultaneously a thoroughly mannered, mischievously artificial confection and an acute piece of psychological realism..." New York Times "With a little sex, some mystery, an appealing lead and a little sex, France's SWIMMING POOL has what it takes to become an art house audience magnet..." USA Today "...Rampling doesn't skip a beat. Freed from the burden of likability, the actress pushes the character from near-farce to near-tragedy without once appealing to sentimentalism..."Los Angeles Times "...A sensuous and deceptive new thriller..." Chicago Sun-Times "...An entertaining drama, showcasing strong performances from both actresses..."

"For his keenly observant narrative feature debut, documentary filmmaker Chris Smith and writer Randy Russell have deftly transposed Russell's short story 'The Pool' from Iowa to the Indian state of Goa, in the small city of Panjim."Los Angeles Times "This calm, neorealist film, directed and photographed by the documentarian Chris Smith, blurs the line between fiction and reality."New York Times "This resonant, beautifully naturalistic drama is a return to the familiar subject of haves and have-nots for director Chris Smith....The result is both authentically specific and profoundly global." -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly "Smith's confident touch in directing his actors, his own strikingly warm and vibrant cinematography, and the well-judged gaps he allows in his story all make for a pleasing package..."Sight and Sound9.407819

Entertainment Weekly (11/17/95, p.79) - "Jones' `joint' is a big, clean house where bop begets rap begets soul, and all-stars like Bono, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles are bathed in swirly, studio-crafty splendor..." - Rating: BDown Beat (2/96, p.43) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...an entertaining pop album that abounds with joyous feeling....there are several dozen singers and musicians....Yet everyone finds his or her place, stomping the grooves, sweetening the harmonies, swinging hard or just coolin' out..."Musician (1/96, p.95) - "...What makes this album work isn't who Q puts on the guest list, but what he does when they turn up....he's hardly repeating himself, as the hyper-energized `Stomp' and the sultry `Is It Love That We're Missing' make plain."NME (Magazine) (12/16/95, p.37) - 7 (out of 10) - "...tailor-made for star-spotters, ever ready to strain an ear in search of their favourite zillionaire....you can't really have this much quality on board and not occasionally sound sublime."8.017181

Entertainment Weekly (3/14/97, p.81) - "With a lineup of two-string slide bass, baritone sax, and drums, this Boston trio makes a seductively noirish noise unlike anything in contemporary rock....exotically refreshing."- Rating: AQ (4/97, p.126) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...With this fourth album, Morphine have quite sensibly resisted the urge to dangerously tamper with a possibly unique formula."Option (5-6/97, p.117) - "...grabs ahold of your head and bottom and won't let go. Sandman's lyrics are a mix of hipster bedtime stories and crafty non sequiturs, and they set smooth as silk against the superbly simple funksmanship of drummer Billy Conway and the inspired moans of saxman Dana Colley..."6.964629
