Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes lead this psychological suspense drama alongside Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey) and Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone). From the director of the Academy Award-nominated I Am Love.
When a glamorous couple decide to vacation on a remote Italian island (Swinton and Schoenaerts), their rest is disrupted by the sudden visit of an old friend (Fiennes) and his luscious daughter (Johnson). Suddenly, what was supposed to be a perfect romantic getaway turns into a whirlwind of jealousy, passion and danger, sparking some flames that should not necessarily be ignited.
A loose remake of forgotten 1969 French thriller La Piscine, I Am Love director Luca Guadagnino’s eroticised drama is best thought of as a sort of Euro-centric Sexy Beast – Sexy Beasts, perhaps. Both feature Brits abroad disturbed by force-of-nature guests; and both are better as portrayals of unsettling group dynamics than as thrillers.

It’s a shimmering tank of romance, jealously and intrigue, and A Bigger Splash plunges into the deep end.

A cocktail of intense emotions, transcendent surroundings and unexpected detours. A real pleasure.

A modern cinematic opera - the sun-kissed bacchanal followed by the tempestuous comedown.

The film feels empty and intellectualized at the core, where it should feel powerfully emotional.
Full review
A stylish, unorthodox erotic drama that tries hard but fails to maintain its eccentric momentum.
