A Bigger Splash
These are the events we are experiencing through the holiday that was wanted by a famous rock star (Tilda Swinton) and director (Matias Schoenartes) on the island of Sicily. It seems that this holiday will not be fully completed because of the unexpected visit of an old torch (Ralph Finis) and his seductive daughter (Dakota Johnson) where things change completely at that moment.

If the film's collection of frissons is ultimately less satisfying than the knockout punch of I am Love, it's still as enjoyable, refreshing, and ever-so-slightly discombobulating as a good holiday.

It's a solid gold cast, yet the film feels less than bronze, maybe wooden.

A Bigger Splash isn't without some shortcomings, then, but the movie is never dull, and I found it to be surprisingly substantial.

"A Bigger Splash"? More like a small trickle.

A study in charisma, with two wildly different performances at its center.

Our Tilda-timeless and aggressively modern.
