Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Claudio Carvalho The insecure Diana (Ellen van der Koogh) and her husband Julian (Danny de Kok) schedule to spend the weekend with an unknown couple experienced in swing in the house of Diana's parents that are traveling. They welcome the gorgeous Alexandra (Nienke Brinkhuis) and her husband Timo (Joep Sertons); however the sexy and attractive Alex inhibits the repressed Diana even more and excites Julian. Along the night, Timo discloses his real feelings about Alex and on the next morning, the relationship of the couple is tested. The low-budget "Swingers" is a surprisingly good movie. I was expecting to see an erotic and shallow drama but the story indeed has substance and brings a good discussion about the theme with believable characters. The stylish movie presents a non-aggressive eroticism and witty dialogs. This is the first film that I watch with Nienke Brinkhuis and her beauty and sensuality are impressive. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Swingers"

Nathalie V Great mix of drama and erotica. First part of the film is provocative and sultry. It appeals to everyone's fantasy and is played out very realistic. After a while however more serious questions are asked and it is here where the lack of moral guidance was well appreciated. The makers give you room for your own conclusions, which is a far more intelligent than just telling us how to feel. Unjustly compared with the Dutch, cheap sex laden films from the 70's. People who think Swinging is something from the past don't know what's going on. Even puritan Oprah did a show on this group of people. "They may be your neighbors. They could live in your street!"Good entertainment.

Steef To shed a light on previous comments.The film is (after 7 weeks) still shown in Belgium.The largest newspaper in Holland gave it 4 stars out of 5.The film was picked up by the biggest network in Holland (RTL4).This film devides the critics.The most popular talkshow in Holland (Barend en van Dorp) promoted the film, stating that the film was grossly mis-marketed and it should have been distributed in much larger numbers.It is clear that this film is controversial, looking at the mixed reactions. For me, that would be a trigger to see this film.Stephan.

f_heijligers Okay, the first time I heard about this film (Swingers, people who swap partners at clubs and private meetings) I thought: Those swingers... aren't that just bored middle-class couples who don't appeal to me at all? And we don't need yet another Dutch film with a lot of nudity. Right? Wrong! First of all, Dutch audiences generally dislike nudity in Dutch films because it's usually irrelevant to the story-line. Sex just to shock or draw people to the box-office. But Swingers is far more intelligent than to do just that. It shows explicit sex, yes, but only at the point were there can't be anything else BUT explicit sex. This film is much more a well-told story of what sexual fantasies can do within a relationship. When Diana (Ellen van der Koogh), a woman in her late thirties, and her husband Julian (Danny de Kok) decides to experiment sexually with another couple, she is adorably insecure. She projects all the questions we would have, questions of fidelity, jealousy etc. But let's face it: also a healthy dose of fantasy and lust. They put out an ad on the Internet and plan a weekend at her parents' house who are away on Holidays. (The house is awesome. It should have had a credit of it's own) When their date arrive (Alexandra, played by Nienke Brinkhuis and Timo, played by Joep Sertons) you know already that this film is much more than just an erotic-tainted film. They are the opposite of Diana and Julian. As die-hard swingers they are there to show them how the game is played. At the press-viewing I attended were a lot of female journalists and they were very positive about this film. The acting is very good, the nudity is tasteful and the plot is simple yet smart. It takes this film stunningly little time to care for each of the characters. You even understand the thrills and excitement about the theme, without advertising it. But it also shows the pitfalls and dangers of it all, without condemning the swingers-scene. It doesn't claim to be a moral judge to approve or not. This film runs 93 minutes and at the end you feel you have witnessed the rise and fall of two relationships you care for. Go see this film.
