Engrossing performances in ‘Water Lilies’

Celine Sciamma’s powerful tale of young love, ‘Water Lilies’ (Contender, €24.99) is set in the world of synchronised swimming where three promising girls find distractions in and out of the water.

A beautifully observed film, aided by engrossing performances by Pauline Acquart, Louise Blachere and Adele Haenel.
