bettycjung 5/15/18. I only watched this because Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses. As in all her movies, she brings just the right intensity to the role. Here she is a former heroin addict trying to clean up her life, but all the people that probably made up her previous drugged-up world are still around and are not where she is trying to be. That makes it really hard for her to start over. And, for the whole movie she struggles with bad influences and good intentions. If you are Blanchett fan, then watch this.

Gordon-11 This film is about a woman who tries to get her life back on track after 4 years of heroin addiction.I find the plot confusing, and the story poorly told. It is a drama, but lacks the drama. The pace of the story is very slow. Even after 90 minutes of the film, the only message I really perceive from the film is that Cate Blanchett's character is unable to get a loan despite repeated attempts. I am particularly annoyed by the excessive use of glares and halos around bright lights. It is not even a nice visual effect to start with anyway. Despite the stellar cast, I find this film unable to deliver what it could have been. I would not recommend it.

bekteke You can see how Australian families and their typical life. They can't be happy all the time.Sometimes ex-boyfriends,sometimes relatives who use or sell drugs come and ruin everything.their marriage never keep going good but they make friendship lots of people and they have lots of lovers.Beside the whole bed life sometimes one girl listens music and remember past that remind her happy days.when the music ands hopeless life continuous...I cant say that they will be happy when they get some money for her business because every time bad things can be occur due to these people's life without spirit.However they remind life soul when one of them die or they lost everything.

averyayoung Out of the quiet but ripe landscape of Australian Cinema comes a sleeper that film buffs of the character driven and powerfully acted in taste wait for. Artful, cinematic, and thoughtful; this film hums with moments of genius. Though not perfect, Little Fish is the story of people on the outside, living just underneath their dreams. Serious and rough around the edges this is not a film for those who are not comfortable with a darker film with a current of realism running through, but worth the slower moments that must fill any solid drama as it carries along. A perfect film for the academic and armchair cineaste, or someone looking for a bit of cinema with some harsh realism and thought out characters.
