The title of the movie says it all: it's a story about staying afloat, moving and moving without really going anywhere.
The love story between the two main characters is beautiful and wonderfully portrayed, their most intimate scenes very warm and credible, of course it wouldn't get the attention others lesbian themed movies got because the kind of tragedy it portrays is specific to gay people's experiences and there aren't explicit sex scenes.
It's a movie about love, in its different shapes and forms, on the technical side the editing is a bit abrupt but the actors delivered well rounded performances, the soundtrack is simple enough but feels very appropriate and never overdone.
The ending is true to life and I actually appreciated that they didn't destroy the love story between the two women, too many times these kind of movies seem to be written with the purpose to scold lesbians for their very existence.
