The Goldfish

About This Movie

So, 'The Goldfish' from 2021 is this intimate drama that really digs into some heavy stuff. You’ve got this woman, adopted, and she’s just hit with this tidal wave of emotion at her sister’s baby shower. The atmosphere is thick with tension, like you can really feel her dread about motherhood creeping in. The pacing? It's all about those quiet moments that let you sit with her fears. Performances are raw and unfiltered, especially the lead, who brings a lot of vulnerability. There’s no flashy effects here, just a real focus on character and dialogue, which makes it stand out. It’s not your typical family drama, more like a deep dive into personal shadows.
