Katie Jarvis in a career-making performance |
Andrea Arnold's sophomore feature Fish Tank is, quite simply, one of the best films of the last ten years. Had it just had Arnold's pitch-perfect, naturalistic script, or the sumptuous cinematography of Robbie Ryan, or the typically tremendous performance from Michael Fassbender, or the dazzling turn from newcomer Katie Jarvis -- any one of these elements alone would have ensured this film critical notice. But that this film brings all of these to the table guarantees that it will only grow in stature as more audiences are introduced to its riches.
