Review of Night Swim

Night Swim (2024)
5/10
"It's worth it."
5 April 2024
Just remember, it is about Temegama. Ray Waller is a star major league ballplayer, who has come down with MS, so he can no longer play. But that is his entire life. He is married to Eve, with an older daughter Izzy, and a young son, Elliot. They are looking for a new place, and the first place they are shown is more or less a place where incurables go to die. But he feels he doesn't want that place, and as they are driving away, see this large home for sale. It has a pool, but no one has lived there for some time. They buy it, and fix it up for his condition, and also fix up the pool, as swimming can help him. It turns out the pool is spring fed, and supposedly has curative abilities. And as he starts swimming, he gets very much better. One night Elliot sees a girl by the pool, Rebecca Summers. Eve tracks down the family, and in a very matter of fact and chilling recitation, she is told the water has special properties, but does not give them for nothing, so someone has to pay, so the water can keep on giving. What is the price the Waller family has to pay, and will they? I feel the movie is somewhat padded in length. Enchanted waters have been done before, and this is neither better nor worse than some of those.
