Anton Bitel Eye for Film although A Fish starts off as something like a noirish detective story, by the end it has become a mystery in the ancient sense of that word, bridging, through religious practice, the ineffable divide between life and death. Nov 20, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Chaotic and incomprehensible in its narrative technique, A Fish loses its sense of mystery and suspense with every following minute. It becomes bitter and rather indigestible due to the prolonged scenes of nothingness. Also, mixing the main storyline with a silly and ridiculous tale about two fishermen does't really beautify the experience of watching this movie, but rather brutalizes its core substance. Even though it may be evaluated as a whole-hearted movie about the course of life and its inevitable ending, A Fish presents all the mind-bending aspect of its highly philosophical deepness with lack of interest. The characters take a ride into their own convoluted minds and discover that looks might sometimes be tricky, and in the end nothing is what it seemed to be at first.
