What to Know

Critics Consensus

A talented cast and a pleasantly bittersweet spin on a familiar story help Sink or Swim finish a length or two ahead of the average feel-good comedy.

Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Sep 26, 2019
Selling a tragic-to-triumphant story arc repurposed from any number of similar crowd-pleasers, Lellouche is blessed with seasoned actors who know how to charm. Go to Full Review
Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Jul 16, 2019
3.5/5
The film boldly goes where no French film has gone before and with enough humour and heart to defuse such ungenerous thinking. Yes, it's a bit wet, but what else could it be? Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety May 23, 2018
As harmless as it is silly, but dampened by idle gags, empty characterization and an inordinate two-hour runtime. Go to Full Review
Gisela Savdie El Heraldo Sep 19, 2020
In spite of certain superficial parts, the movie makes us think how the human being is a victim of stereotypes [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Sep 28, 2019
5.45/10
Contrived, heavy-handed and underwhelming in spite of its charismatic cast. The filmmakers try too hard to please the audience without trusting their intelligence nor their emotions enough. Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Sep 23, 2019
3/5
This is a solid feel-good movie, even if it's oddly unambitious and stretched out longer than necessary. Go to Full Review
