About This Movie

Poolside (2019) presents a quiet, introspective look at a girl's struggle with her insecurities, all set against the backdrop of the Enauep Hotel pool. The atmosphere feels almost suffocating at times, heavy with unspoken tension and the weight of social expectations. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection that might not resonate with everyone but offer a unique lens on vulnerability. Practical effects are minimal, but the performances carry a raw authenticity that’s hard to ignore. It’s distinctive in how it captures those fleeting, awkward interactions that happen in communal spaces, leaving you feeling slightly unsettled yet understanding. A film that lingers, even in its subtlety.
