Teenage swimmer Benjamin Lane faces problems after his father leaves jail.[5]
The film was sold at the American Film Market by Arclight Films. To build the character, Levi Miller consulted with Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe.[1]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 75% based on 20 reviews.[6] Luke Buckmaster at The Guardian called the film "emotionally gripping swimming film that breaks the sports movie mould".[7] Paul Byrnes at Sydney Morning Herald said that "the film grows muscles as it progresses, a bit like a swimmer in training, but it's too little too late."[8]
In his review for The Curb, Andrew F. Peirce said that "Streamline is an impressive and towering achievement from Tyson Wade Johnston, one that will be earmarked as a turning point in Levi Miller's enduring career, a possible pivot point that will likely guide him towards more mature performances".[9] Doug Jamieson, in his review for The Jam Report said that "this is one of the best Australian films of the year."[10]
