Alain E The best part of this movie is its visual appeal. Excellent cinematography almost expressionistic in character. Colors, angles, illumination make it a visual treat. The story itself plods along. If you expect resolution or a message, look elsewhere. In a way it is analogous to the book Junky of William Burroughs as drug use defines most of these characters. Cate Blanchett is superb, but the rest of the cast is also very good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review ANITA C I was disappointed as. love Kate Blanchard. She doesn't disappoint in this movie but the Director/producer does. Terrible filming, angles and of course awful characters and the cussing is what you would expect but not good for Sunday watching. I really don't care about these people and that might be the director's intention, but there has to be a reason to continue watching. Perhaps if you are addicted you might want to see what this film has to offer. I think it's a downhill road. Very depressing and I'm sorry I purchased it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Audience Member One of my Favorite Cate performances- at least of of my favorite young cate performances. its so Raw and Wild. all of the actors in this movie made this seem almost like a documentary in ow the filming and storytelling went in this movie. The Dullness in what this movie seemed to started off on leads to a tantalizing story and the feeling that comes when Memories and Visions of what your possible future can have. Love this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review leonardo j All the actors but Hugo Weaving act in an unnatural way. The movie is extremely slow and flat, without emotion. It's that kind of movie that you watch expecting all the time that something will happen to alter the lack of emotion in it. Boring! The Australian accent was hard to catch as well, at least to me. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Cate Blanchett once again proves her superior acting abilities in this rather uneven drama directed by Rowan Woods. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Little Fish is a film I praised upon first seeing it but in hindsight, perhaps it only reflects the dearth of great Australian movies in the early 2000s. Credit where it is due, the cast are outstanding (particularly Hugo Weaving as the junkee ex-AFL star who will do anything for a hit- just ask Sam Neill's character!) and Cate Blanchett- who's character wants to reform herself but is struggling with addiction. Noni Hazlehurst is also terrrific as her suffering mother. Despite these very strong elements, the story is relentlessly depressing and gritty and scarcely a splinter of light ever makes it through the curtain of this domestic junkee drama- the intensity of the performances can be very draining because of this. Perhaps the girls choir who sing the Cold Chisel classic 'Flame Trees' at the end should not have ommited the line "Who needs this sentimental bullshit anyway?..."
