Ned Merrill is a tragic hero for the '60s, and it's one of Lancaster's most searing performances.

As do few movies, The Swimmer stays in the memory like an echo that never quite disappears.

Burt Lancaster is superb in his finest performance.
October 30, 2007
Frequently silly but oddly memorable and unsettling.
October 30, 2007
A resounding commercial flop, this has since been recognized as a signature 60s film, prescient in its view of American self-deception.
June 01, 2003
An enigmatic, poetic, disturbing, interestingly pretentious fable.
April 01, 2014
As effectively as almost any movie ever made about American suburbia, The Swimmer gets the contentment that comes with material success[...] And it gets how the fantasy is hard to sustain.
May 24, 2003
A mannerist, moody and wonderfully strange allegory of the squandered American Dream. Like a plunge into the deep end, it stings and refreshes.
June 24, 2006
A largely loony but oddly compulsive allegory.

Beautifully shot and executed, the effort is generous with disturbing, puzzling behavior, yet wise enough to provide clear clues to aid interpretation.
