The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I watched a Bigger Splash for an hour before I gave up. I realised I didn't care about any of the characters apart from the Italian maid. I've worked on films like this all the enjoyment was in the making.

I hadn't seen A Bigger Splash but after being dazzled by Call Me By Your Name, I rushed to find and see this Luca Guadagnino 2015 film and it confirmed without a doubt that Luca Guadagnino is a remarkable filmmaker with a retro eye and a futuristic sensibility. His elegance makes cinematic the most unpalatable of tales and this one, a four sided triangle, it's unpalatable and scrumptious all at the same time. Tilda Swinton is superb as the voiceless singer, Dakota Johnson gave me, for the first time, a glimpse into what she could be, Matthias Schoenaerts hits all the right notes even the most unexpected ones but Ralph Fiennes gives a performance that it hast to be seen to be believed mostly because this is the same actor in Schindler's List, Quiz Show, In Bruges and last year he provided me woth one of the funniest scenes of the year in Hail Caesar. So, as you must gather, I had a great time and I'll wait for the next Guadagnino with childish anticipation

In "A bigger splash", the audience gets to know the story of a celebrity couple that has to face some long forgotten problems when an old friend and lover appears and brings along his mysterious daughter and ambitions to win back the lady.The movie has a well-known cast and convinces through beautiful images of the Italian landscape it plays in. It includes recent issues such as the refugee crisis and tries to base the story within its surroundings. Personally, I have to admit, that I didn't really find a connection to the plot, though. The film is a very slow one and nearly all of the characters remain distant in one form or another. You do get to feel the jealousy and tension the events are based on, nevertheless it didn't feel like there was a lot of tension building up and so in the end, you don't really know what to make of the film. I could imagine that all of this is well considered by the producers, it just didn't work out for me.All in all this is surely a well-produced movie that manages to hit the undertones of jealousy, seduction and long buried feelings. If you are d'accord with a slow plot and subtle tension, this is definitely worth a watch for you.

Complete load of rubbish, masquerading as an art(y) film. Four characters, only one of whom is remotely sane, three of whom are both uninteresting and unpleasant. Tilda Swinton is her usual pretentious self, only voiceless. Mathias Schonaerts is handsome and quiet (thank goodness). Ralph Fiennes doing manic is the most irritating and pointless character I can remember on screen. No-one half civilised would stand him for as much as minute. The nymphet does what you expect nymphets to do. I despair of professional critics who go weak at the knees if they can describe a film as arty. Thank goodness for so many sensible ordinary viewers who tell it like it is.
