Film

'Water Lilies'

Good god! There has not been cinema like this since Esther Williams made her iconic appearance in Bathing Beauty with an extended sequence of her behaving like a porpoise. This movie will be better because this movie involves actual synchronized swimming, not the water ballet of old. With a plot that follows several sapphically oriented girls on the same synchro team, it also involves the French! It is a French film. Please, please let this be the beginning of a beautiful new synchronized-swimming cinema. (See movie times, www.thestranger.com, for details.)

Well at the risk of sounding like a pervert, the trailer makes that look like it'll be the hottest movie pretty much ever.

I don't think it makes you a pervert so much as a person with eyes wired to a functioning brain.

Having seen the trailer and some other reviews, I have to agree, looks like an interesting film ...
