About This Movie

Fishtank (2024) is this intriguing mix of surreal and gritty realism. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, as Jules navigates her newfound sobriety while dealing with this bizarre affliction of vomiting goldfish. It’s not just some gimmick; it’s a metaphor for her struggle, her past, and the messiness of recovery. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to sit with her discomfort and recovery process. The practical effects of the fish are eerily well done, adding to the film's unique tone. The performances are raw, especially from whoever plays Jules, who embodies that complex blend of vulnerability and strength. Overall, it’s a distinctive exploration of addiction and connection, wrapped in a surreal premise.
