"Fish" IS WELL Worth the time. It's a poignant study of adolescence; a tale of a sgle Mom and her 2 daughters (the younger reminded me of... Jodie Foster as a child). Looking for security, seeking acceptance and love. Drinking, swearing, living w/ the hangovers of life. Not able to get out of their rat hole, not possible to alter the course of their poverty. They strained @ the seams, and I kept waiting for the whole house of cards to tumble. The 15 yr old girl was esp. wonderful; one roots for her break-dancing dreams; one worries about the chances she takes daily. Not a happy story, but a valid reflection of life on the edge. The man in their lives (younger'n the Mom -- older'n the girl) forced the story forward, w/ surprising, but unpredictable results. The movie lingers in the backroads of my mind. mb ps I shld mention that the theater was mostly empty, and upon leaving I asked a couple of men what they thot and one said "boring; too long; a skunk", (?)

The 17-year-old so completely captures the innocence, cynicism and rage of a child of poverty and divorce on the edge of adulthood that it feels as if you are spying on Mia, so achingly real, so tangible does her world seem here.Full Review

It's been a good while since I've seen a movie whose most powerful sequence was both unforeseen and entirely unpredictable as it played out.Full Review
