exact opposite of a porn.....shows how sex is poor and terrible for young girls...i found the kicking little girl to be strangely offputting as well as the poorness of the end.....so fassbend just fizzles after he **** to say that I didn'texact opposite of a porn.....shows how sex is poor and terrible for young girls...i found the kicking little girl to be strangely offputting as well as the poorness of the end.....so fassbend just fizzles after he **** to say that I didn't want more in the movie would be a lie.....i don't really enjoy following people around especially when so poor but its ture that you get to be this retarded little girl and you dont feel that shes really retarded except for the kicking scene...the fact that its called fish tank made me wonder if fassbender had other moments in his life that were similar to the fish river scene....once again a movie solely about the attractiveness of the lead......not that I care.but One and Two is the same..also it could be just how fassbender is a robot who is also only there to be attractive....and all the sudden its ok to bang a fifteenyearold in a movie ....lol again not that I care...the horse Idea and kid who doesn't get banged is heartwarming but still.....retarded how she cries there but headbutts in beginning....this might be my best review.....as far as being more tolerable than honey and all those other ones.....its actually better then 4 when that is taken in to consideration.....its hard to tell but yeah this doesn't fully seem British ...not that I care… Expand

An interesting but excessive portrait of an isolated 15-year-old girl who only seems to be looking for problem after problem without really finding a reason that feels not only rational but more edifying.

It's absolutely understandable thatAn interesting but excessive portrait of an isolated 15-year-old girl who only seems to be looking for problem after problem without really finding a reason that feels not only rational but more edifying.

It's absolutely understandable that a teenager would act in such an impulsive way, but Fish Tank goes so far as to make me say. Enough.

This is mostly because the main character is a mix of cliches waiting to explode.
From being shown as weirdo, an outcast with no friends. She doesn't study, she lives in a disastrous home where she, her sister and her mother can only communicate with screams.
Her mother is in a relationship with a dude who evidently ends up abusing her trust and loneliness to end up having sex with her despite being a minor.
Like I said, it's a mix of a lot of cliches that come to feel disproportionate.

That's not to say the film doesn't have its merits, especially in terms of acting and how its director Andrea Arnold manages to sustain its plot by keeping you focused on the lead character, because after all, everything we see on screen is through her and only her.

I had different expectations of Fish Tank because it was considered a great movie, but to me it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary, but it's a long way from being called a bad one.… Expand
