Swimming (2000)

This film is very indie, and very early 2000's. It's funny how the presence of cell phones in movies used to be what you'd notice, now it's there absence that draws attention. The movie star's Lauren Ambrose, just before the start of Six Feet Under (my third favorite TV show of all time). Frankie Wheeler (Ambrose) is a year or so out of high school and working for her brother at the family restaurant on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. There is ennui and a bisexual love triangle. Ambrose and the films refreshing tone, like a slow summers day makes this movie work. I enjoyed it more then I though I would. ***
