Fish Tank (DVD)

Fish Tank (2009) starring Katie Jarvis, Kierston Wareing, Michael Fassbender. Life of hot-tempered teen outcast Mia (Jarvis) seems to be taking a turn for the better when her mother (Wareing) brings home new boyfriend Connor (Fassbender). Connor treats Mia decently, and seems to be the father figure she needs in her life. But Connor soon turns out to be more of a kind of "funny uncle," and when he messes with Mia he finds himself in deeper than he could have anticipated. All in all, it's a grim tale, without a happy ending. Interesting to watch, though. The subtitles are hard to find, and just adequate. Grade: B
