Review of Fish Tank (2009) by Santiago P — 30 Aug 2011
Mr. Archie Hicox, you had us giggling like teenagers in our bright blue jeans. "Is his cock this big?" Really?? Just so you know, that is a crime, it is called Statutory Rape. A beautifully shot film that depicts how violence in a teenager is just like a nasty bacon strip attached to a nice hotdog of innocence, inserted there by equally nasty parenting.
It must have been shown a thousand times, the teenager trapped in a world that requires skills he will most likely never obtained, or at least until it is too late. But the film wins at showing the beauty, innocence and coolness inside the teenager's head, and not just MTV inserted behavior.
In the end Mia ends up a pikey, but a free one, she will now suffer being on her own, as opposed to suffering trapped inside a fish tank. Tyler, we hate you too, we'll miss you a lot, we hope at least you do get the moves.
