If you asked me about
Poolman I'd say it's not
that deep. But on a deeper level I'd say...Poolman is painfully relatable. Wanting to be alone whilst struggling with lonliness. Drowning under the weight of feeling abandoned and searching for connections where there are none to be found. Watching the world move on whilst you remain stuck. Not knowing how to love or be loved. Yet somehow this film is able to simultaneously be funny, playful, wacky and joyful. Watching it felt as though I myself was being immersed in water...then right at the end my heart was cracked wide open and I saw the light. I recommend this movie if you have an open mind and go in for the vibes.
