Reviews

"'The Pool' has a deceptively simple narrative and its subtext is just as significant as its overt text. It's not a particularly easy movie to watch or enjoy and a trimming of 15 minutes will improve the film's overall quality without damaging at all its coherence or integrity."—Emanuel Levy¹

"Sensitive to the culture, not only of India, but to those people who must work menial jobs to survive and dream of something bigger, Smith has crafted a quietly beautiful movie that honors both."—IndieWIRE ²
