Review of Fish Tank (2009) by Rodney S — 02 Jun 2011
The British are masters of grim and gritty social comment, with this very impressive effort demanding to be experienced. Harsh life lessons are everyday life for the the 15yo Mia (an impressive Katie Jarvis) as she tries to find any scrap of meaning in her painful existence.
Michael Fassbender is outstanding in his role as a destructive facilitator in Mia's journey. The film was curiously not shot in widescreen and the 4:3 image on the screen feels quite primitive, but this does not detract from what is ultimately a tale well told.
