Review of Passion Fish (1992) by Kevin B — 16 Mar 2008
1â??alludes to Robert Aldrichâ??s What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) In its tribute to a handicapped TV star (May-Alice played by Mary McDonnell) and an unfit mother (Chantelle played by Alfre Woodard).
2â??an anti-Reagan story, Passion Fish is both cynical and critical of monetary success and the inevitably of class distinctions.
3â??a â??womanâ??s pictureâ?? centering on female friendship that coincides with Hollywoodâ??s Thelma & Louise (1991), A League of the Own (1992), and Fried Green Tomatoes (1991).
4â??What is (American Independent) Cinema? â??a love story without tears, a soap opera without soap, a political fable about survivors in the ruins of the land of greed.â?? â??Michael Wilmington.
