The CinePearl Take
Lead newcomer Alex Rivera (as the eponymous pool boy) anchors the film with a quietly magnetic performance, balancing innocence with a growing steeliness. Director Maya Lin’s deliberate pacing lets the tension simmer, while the recurring motif of water mirrors the protagonist’s descent into hidden depths. The film’s commentary on privilege and voyeurism feels timely without ever feeling preachy.
