Plot Summary

Academy Award® winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold’s Cannes Jury Prize winner, FISH TANK is an emotionally stunning coming-of-age story, electrified by the breakthrough performance of its young star Katie Jarvis. Fifteen-year-old Mia (Katie Jarvis) is in a constant state of war with her family and the world around her, without any creative outlet for her considerable energies save a secret love of hip-hop dance. When she meets her party-girl mother’s charming new boyfriend Connor (Michael Fassbender), she is amazed to find he returns her attention, and believes he might help her start to make sense of her life. A clear-eyed, potent portrait of teenage sexuality and vulnerability, FISH TANK confirms writer/director Arnold’s status as one of the leading figures of new British cinema.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: A bold new entry in the long-standing British tradition of disquieting social realism. – Ian Buckwalter, NPR, Jul 19, 2010

Fresh: Writer-director Andrea Arnold has created something so real and raw, you may come away with a twinge of guilty voyeurism, a sense of peering too closely and impolitely into other people's lives. – David Germain, Associated Press, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Fish Tank may begin as a patch of lower-class chaos, but it turns into a commanding, emotionally satisfying movie, comparable to such youth-in-trouble classics as The 400 Blows. – David Denby, New Yorker, Nov 30, 2011

Fresh: The film swims in an anguish not solely the result of Mia's coming of age -- and yet, it surfaces for air in ways compelling and uncompromising. – Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post, Jun 24, 2010

Michael Fassbender is Amazing!!!

I watched this movie on tv a few months ago because I'm watching all of his movies since his work in Shame. He is excellent in this movie, as well as Katie Jarvis, who plays Mia. I don't want to give too much away, but halfway through the movie, you'll ask yourself, "Did that just happen?". The pace of the movie starts off slow, but it quickly picks up and you're glued until the end.

Loved it overall

Great movie. I thought Katie Jarvis did an excellent job making Mia a likeable character. She's also a talented dancer. But the very last scene ended it on a sour note sort of; so disappointingly cliche. Still liked it a lot tho :)

Loved it

Such a great foreign film from the UK. I wish I bought this. Worth buying.
