SYNOPSIS:
The most honored British film of the year is Academy Award® winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold’s Cannes Jury Prize winner, FISH TANK. The film 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.
Movie Review
Beautifully written, stunningly directed drama with a terrific, breakout performance from newcomer Katie Jarvis – Fish Tank is one of the best films of the year. What's it all about? Directed by Andrea Arnold (Red Road), Fish Tank stars newcomer Katie Jarvis as 15-year-old Mia, who's warring with the girls on her estate and doesn't get on with either her constantly partying mother Joanne (Kierston Wareing) or her bratty, foul-mouthed younger sister, Tyler (Rebecca Griffiths). Her only passion is dancing, which she practices in secret in an empty flat, although in a spot of early symbolism she's also obsessed with freeing a hungry-looking horse she encounters tethered to a patch of wasteland. However, things begin to change for Mia when her mother brings home charming, charismatic new boyfriend, Connor (Michael Fassbender). Connor's likeable presence actually begins to draw the family closer together, particularly when he insists on taking them all for a day out. But is he everything that he seems? The Good Arnold's directorial style recalls that of the Dardennes Brothers, in that viewers spend the entire movie following one character, semi-documentary style, except that Arnold's camera is subjective, reflecting Mia's inner life – this is especially evident in a heart-stoppingly beautiful scene where Connor carries a pretending-to-be-asleep Mia and puts her to bed.
The scene also encapsulates the entire film because, although Mia has clearly fallen for Connor, the audience is constantly trying to decide whether or not he's a wrong 'un. The Great Katie Jarvis is nothing short of sensational as Mia - aside from being a great dancer, she's tough, funny, and, at times, genuinely heartbreaking to watch. There's also strong support from the ubiquitous Fassbender (giving an equally extraordinary, complex performance) and from Wareing, while Griffiths steals almost every scene she's in by coming out with some brilliant lines (‘I like you – I'll kill you last’) and Harry Treadaway shines in a low-key role as Mia's ‘pikey’ sort-of boyfriend. Worth seeing?
Fish Tank is an extraordinary film, from the heart-stoppingly delightful direction to the incredible performances – it's also by turns heart-in-your-mouth suspenseful, laugh-out-loud funny and ultimately, deeply moving. Frankly, it's a masterpiece and, as such, unmissable.

Sometime in the not-too-distant future, 30 years after the final war, one man travels West (yes, for 30 years) across the wasteland that was once America. Desolate miles of skeletons in abandoned vehicles. Empty cities, broken highways, scorched earth—all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization as we know today. And there is no law. The roads belong to gangs that rape and pillage. They are survivors who would kill a man for his shoes, an ounce of water—or for no reason at all. Yet none of them prove to be any match for a man named Eli when they challenge his will—or should I say God’s will.
Eli (Denzel Washington) is a warrior by calling and seeks only peace. But, if challenged, he will cut (literally) his attackers down before they realize their mistake. It’s not his own life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future and a most important book (the only one of its kind left) that will provide the foundation for that future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined until death to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive—and continue. Now this is fire and brimstone!
Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds because it was part of his own upbringing. And he is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the self-appointed ruler of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie’s adopted daughter Solara (the lovely Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather’s painful kingdom. And the example he sets by not only his words, but also his actions. Eli walks by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). And he must keep moving to fulfill his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity.
I saw a screening of The Book of Eli last night and what I liked most about this classic good versus evil movie was that it had something to say about commitment, sacrifice, survival and human nature. It wasn’t just another hokey, post-apocalyptic, pseudo-Western, action-adventure (not that there’s anything wrong with that). There’s a theme of believing you can do something. And then seeing it through and getting it done—based on faith.Denzel Washington ’s portrayal as a reverent superhero actually works. And if the goal of the movie was to make me appreciate life and how precious it is—or at least offer a reminder—that worked, too.
