i be not go to talk about the actor . everyone here have already do that and the problem i have with this film doesn not involve the acting at all . it be very well do . however and it be sad and depress . not many people will want to watch marie struggle to accept the fact that her husband be go and that she be now alone . her husband have be go for 3 month and she talk about him a if he never disappear . the husband mother and who be in a nursing home and make a comment to marie tell her that she probably crazy and bore too . maybe that be why her son disappear because he be bore with his life and his wife . why anyone would make such a comment to someone suffering be beyond me . but for some reason and there it be and this pathetic scene hint that marie might be insane . she isn not . she grief stricken and unable to accept the fact that her husband may be dead and perhaps by suicide . if this all sound dismal and be prepare . this be not an uplifting film at all . i enjoy swim pool much well and wouldn not want to sit through this again . try something else .
