Swimming Pool - 2

A French film, that uses the line between fact and fiction to the writers advantage and to see if the audience can pick up on the plot twists. I think it is mostly a manipulative movie, playing on the assumptions of the audience and the thriller genre of films. I thought there might actually be something in the story, but the only thing I took from it is that some like illusion better than reality. One of the reasons I rented it was that it is a Focus Feature, others of these sort I have liked, for instance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lost in Translation, and 21 Grams. Not a movie I would like to see again.
