Something amiss here, powerful performances, creative cinematography, and yet the resulting package is still dissapointing, predictable and ultimatly forgettable. In its quest to be a worthy, award gathering critical success, this movie Something amiss here, powerful performances, creative cinematography, and yet the resulting package is still dissapointing, predictable and ultimatly forgettable. In its quest to be a worthy, award gathering critical success, this movie forges forward with great ambition. Unfortunately, in doing so they fail to include any elements to make Little Fish in any way interesting or entertaining. Despite this, I am sure Blanchett, Weaving et al will no doubt receive endless back patting from the Hollywood thesp set for their performances. If Rowan Woods can keep extracting performances like those, a better film must surely be on the way. Expand

The bottom line: phenomenal performances in a murky story. The characters are very well drawn and superbly acted. The story, however, is as clear as a mud puddle on a stormy day. Everything is sort of smothered in backstory and exposition. The bottom line: phenomenal performances in a murky story. The characters are very well drawn and superbly acted.

Clarity would've made this a landmark film; that clarity, however, is sadly lacking. Expand

The acting is OK. The story though is so common, so sad, so hopeless, so uninteresting. But that is Australie, I guess.
