Fish tank

I recently saw a film called Fish Tank. I actually really enjoyed it. The film focuses on a young girl named Mia. She lives on an Essex estate. She has no friends, feels like an outsider with her mother and sister, and has been expelled from school. She spends her days wandering around and practicing her dancing in a vacant flat. Everything changes when her mother brings home a new boyfriend that encourages her to come out of her shell.

There were a lot of new and interesting faces in this film. I have seen Michael Fassbender in many films before, and am usually impressed with his work. This film left me particularly impressed with seventeen year old Katie Jarvis. She played the lead role, and ended up having to take a lot on. There is not much dialogue in the film. In fact, many scenes portray Mia simply by herself. Jarvis did a remarkable job of portraying every feeling and saying nothing.

I would definitely recommend this film. It is definitely a must-see!
