swimmer be a lovely and poetic movie about a young girl who need an operation and the impact of the crisis on her family which do not have health insurance . the script touch on many universal theme represent family and friendship and deplete fishing ground and health care and problem drinking . the performance be wonderful and especially cherry jones and robert knott and and tara devon gallagher . i saw swimmer at the seattle international film festival and i strongly recommend it . it just win the portugese film festival so i be hopeful it will get a distributor a it deserve to be see by a wide audience . swimmer be reminiscent of tender mercy and robert knott performance remind me of robert duvall in tender mercy a huge compliment a tender mercy be one of my favorite movie . see swimmer if you get the chance .
