Fish Tank

When was the last time you got to the end of a movie and immediately hit play so you could watch it again? Chances are that will be your reaction to this bold and brillaint film. Directed by Andrea Arnold, the film tells the story of Mia Williams (Katie Jarvis) a young girl who dreams of hip-hop dancing her way out of the poverty her family lives in. Her live becomes extremely complicated when her mom’s new boyfriend starts showing an interest in her fledgling career and, eventually, her budding young body. It’s hard to watch at times, but Jarvis’ performance is so spellbinding you just can’t look away. And it only gets better the second time.
