Pools

Pools (2025) is an American indie drama-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Sam Hayes and released through Utopia, the film stars Odessa A'zion as Kennedy — a college student one missed deadline away from expulsion.

Rather than deal with the paperwork, Kennedy pulls together a loose crew of misfits: Delaney (Ariel Winter), Reed (Mason Gooding), Blake (Tyler Alvarez). Past midnight, they hop fences into the private pools of the wealthiest estates in their college town. It plays like a party. It doesn't stay one. Kennedy is carrying the weight of her father's recent death, and somewhere between the trespassing and the laughter, the grief starts to surface.

Pools screened in the NEXT WAVE 2025 program before its September 5, 2025 release. It is the kind of film that looks like summer and hits differently on the way home. Watch Pools (2025) online on iFILM.
