"The simplest way to described Fish Tank is with a simple synopsis, to steer clear of spoilers. Mia (played by newcomer Katie Jarvis) lives with her mom and younger sister and doesn't have any friends, or at least none that she likes. When her mum (Kierston Wareing) brings home a new boyfriend (Michael Fassbender), everything changes for her. It's not the polished, happy-go-lucky kind of story you'd see in America, but it's a gritty look at a girl who has few passions in life and is living day-to-day just to get by. So when Connor steps into her life, it sparks a bit of joy inside of her and gives her a new sense of direction, or so we think."
Such a good movie! It kind of felt like the blue collar/non-glamorous version of An Education, but Michael Fassbender was far more appealing than Peter Sarsgaard.
This movie is so good but so devastating, I even feel sad looking at the caps. These are great though! The dancing scene in the living room is TOO PRETTY, and I especially love the final three caps with her little sister.
The last time she goes to the lot with the horse just guts me every time. It just feels like things can't be any worse and then that one last things just breaks her.
