I’m trying to remember the name of a movie from a few years back that I missed in theaters but thought would be a good rental. As I recall, the poster for the film showed the profile woman laying in a lounge chair by the side of the pool as seen from inside looking through sliding glass doors. I thought it stared Cate Blanchett, but I quick look through [IMDB.com](http://IMDB.com) didn’t turn up anything familiar. Any guesses?

Not Sliding Doors {starring Gwyneth Paltrow}, is it?

No, it’s not Swimming Pool. The woman in the poster of the movie I’m thinking of is further away. Also, she’s facing the other direction.

[The Opposite of Sex](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120777/posters) starring Christina Ricci, perhaps?
