Review of Fish Tank (2009) by Chris C — 23 Dec 2012

Realist youth drama about a girl from the British underclass who enjoys dancing and little else. The acting is top notch, from the amateurs and protagonist Katie Jarvis to Michael Fassbender who soon became one of the coming Hollywood shooting stars.

And so we follow Mia around a lot, from the concrete apartments to a trailer park where an old horse is tied up. That's pretty interesting for the longest time but loses a bit of its path in the end, could have used some trimming as well.

Still, an entertaining, disenchanting and raw look at lower class society and the sad outlook today's kids have on life.
