They kept splashing although I'm not sure if it was getting bigger.

A rock star on vacation with her significant other gets a call from a past romance who interrupts their peace and disrupts their lives.

The purpose of the movie was not lost on me, despite the filmmakers being far too subtle about it, but half way through the movie I realized that I no longer cared, even after the climax of the movie occurred I had no real feelings either way.

I started out liking Tilda Swinton as a David Bowie inspired Rock star who just had a surgery that could end her career. After a while, however I just did not fully get the point. Though I was sold on her relationship with Paul, her much younger documentary filmmaker lover, I was not sold on the relationship between her and Ralph Fiennes and I needed that sell.

Ralph Fiennes plays a record producer who cross between man child and wild child. He gave all he got into the character but it was not working for me. In fact it may have been too distracting.

The character that did it for me was Penelope, the record producer's long lost daughter played by Dakota Johnson, who sexiness was far better used in this movie than in 50 Shades of Grey.

The movie seems to go nowhere and is pointless. Then it gets to the point when it does finally have a narrative, but by this point, I don't care enough for anyone for it to matter.

If you want to see Ralph Fiennes' naked, which I didn't, but it really is the only reason to watch this one.
