Fish Tank - 2020 Jury Prize Winner at the Cannes Film Festival
A review of this little seen British movie which stars newcomer Katie Jarvis in a truly astonishing performance. It is a raw and uncompromising character study directed by Andrea Arnold who also made "Red Road."
Now council estates are to England what public housing or "the projects" are to cities all over the United States; run down buildings designed for the economically challenged which carry a stigma (deserved or not) of poverty and endless crime. Now whether that's true or not, that is typically the impression most people have of these places. It is clear from the start that Mia, along with her mother and younger sister Tyler, have lived in this place for a long, long, long time, and it has shaped them into the people they are today. There's seemingly no room for much in the way of respect or gratitude.
Mia appears to have it the roughest compared to her mother and younger sister as she has been kicked out of school and seemingly wanders around the estate aimlessly. We see her putting up a seriously tough front for some girls whose dancing moves she bluntly criticizes as sucking big time, and that leads to her head-butting a girl in the face which shows how quick she is to defend herself. At home in one of the many far too cramped apartments, her mother continually treats her like dirt and appears to more interested in partying and getting drunk rather than being a parent. The only real tender moment (or what could possibly be considered tender) comes at the end of the film, and you'll know it when you see it. As for Mia's younger sister Tyler, she has a vocabulary that makes the character Chloe Moretz played in "Kick Ass" sound PG rated (not PG-13 mind you).
Being the loner that she is, Mia's only escape is practicing her dance moves in an abandoned apartment in the same building where she lives. This proves to be her only real outlet for the frustration and aggravation that have consumed her life to this point. She is shy in revealing this part of herself to just about anyone as vulnerabilities are easily spotted and exploited for all the humiliation that can be derived from it. No one is ever quick to show any weakness in this kind of environment.
Into this unforgivably rough and tumble environment enters her mother's latest boyfriend, Connor, a security guard at a nearby hardware store played by Michael Fassbender. Mia is never quick to warm up to others she doesn't know very well, but she quickly develops an interest in this guy who becomes the father figure she currently lacks. From the moment we see Mia help Connor catch a fish in the lake with his bare hands (it's possible), he inspires her to try new things and open herself up to possibilities that previously seemed beyond her reach.
This leads to a great deal of tension in "Fish Tank" as we can't help but wonder if this relationship is going to end up crossing any boundaries. There are moments captured where the chemistry between Mia and Connor is so strong that you fear the possible and destructive ways this relationship can go to. Words are not needed to illustrate the bond they have, be it when Mia films Connor with a video camera while he's getting dressed for work, or when Connor gives Mia a piggy back ride out of the river after she injures herself. Their growing discoveries of each other and what they themselves are capable of is impossible to ignore, and we can see the positives of it even while it doesn't make us fear a wrong turn any less.
Director Andrea Arnold films the movie in a way where nothing ever feels staged, and every character and location feels authentic to what it must be like in reality. I'm not sure a movie like this could have been filmed any other way and have had the same effect. She also captures the suffocating environment of this kind of living, being in these big buildings which are treated more like dumps for the lowest on the economic ladder. The apartments themselves are ridiculously tiny, and there is no privacy for any family member who has to live there. Places like these must feel like prisons to those who live there, and Arnold captures that mindset clearly to where you almost feel as helpless as the characters do.
As bleak as "Fish Tank" is though, its ending offers hope that anyone can escape such a confining environment if they have the means and the foresight to change their lives for the better. Some are too far gone to be saved, but Mia still has a chance to move forward instead of continually backwards. Her relationship with Connor makes this all the more clearer to her.
Katie Jarvis who has the lead role of Mia in "Fish Tank" had no real acting experience before she got cast in this movie. Word has it that she got an audition after one of the casting assistants saw her arguing with her boyfriend quite loudly outside a train station (that same station is featured in the movie). Indeed, this role not only requires an actress who comes off as tough, but of one who inhabits a role more than play it. While a lot of struggling actors out there may hate the fact that Jarvis got one of the luckiest breaks ever, it makes a lot of sense that the director would cast someone who came from this environment. Some things cannot be easily learned or taught to an actor who is on the outside of all this.
The role Katie plays is not an easy one to portray. Mia has to be tough yet show just enough of a vulnerability to let the audience look past the defenses she has built up. She also has to be shy but angry when she needs to be, curious without spelling it out for anyone, and the character needs to evolve from the person we see at the start of the movie. This makes Katie Jarvis' performance in "Fish Tank" all the more revelatory because you come out thinking that she has been acting for most her life. She successfully captures all the subtle nuances of her character to bring out the complexities inherent that makes her more than just any other angry young girl. Truly, it's a daunting role for even the most experienced actor, and Katie comes out of the picture looking like a pro. If she plays her cards right, she will have quite a career ahead of her.
The other key performance in "Fish Tank" is from Michael Fassbender as Connor. Fassbender has been in movies like Steve McQueen's "Hunger," and he later went on to steal a number of scenes in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds." As Connor, he comes across as a generous human being, and it's commendable that he would want to try and be a father figure to someone else's children. That's something most people would NOT want to do. But Fassbender also gives his character an enigmatic nature that makes him hard to pin down and figure out more fully. Like Mia, you want to more about this guy than what he is telling everyone whose lives he has suddenly come into. The truth of his character is made visible at the end, and it is a shock.
The only real problem I had with "Fish Tank" involved one of the character's revelations in the film's last half. It ended up leaving me with a lot of questions as to why so and so would want to get involved with that person when they already have a whole other thing going on. It's hard to talk about it without giving anything away, but it was one of the few times recently where I have seen a movie and left it begging for more answers. Mysteries that stay after a movie has ended can be fascinating, but others are not so lucky when it comes to that. Some movies need and demand closure, and this one could have used a bit more of it. Either that or I completely missed something...
I meant to see "Fish Tank" when it briefly played in theaters back in January, but I never got around to it. When I did, it was playing at New Beverly Cinema in a double feature with "An Education." That one featured another breakout performance from an actress who also had no real formal training, Carey Mulligan. Once I sat through both, it was clear why the New Bev put them together; they're both about the same thing. Each movie is about a young British girl who feels trapped in an environment they desperately want to escape. Just when they think they have found a way, reality rears its ugly head and takes any possibilities for an exciting life away from them cruelly. Still, both women rise above the pain inflicted on them, and they each find a way to move on in spite of the heartbreak they were forced to endure.
Both "Fish Tank" and "An Education" succeeded in providing us with such rich characters and amazing young actresses to portray them, and they each worked in their own vastly different ways of dealing with the same story: of a young British girl overcoming their surroundings and doing more than what society expects of them.
For those of you with a hankering for dramas with raw emotion and non-manufactured realism, "Fish Tank" is definitely a movie I recommend for you to see. As I write this, I'm not sure it's on DVD just yet, but you can just save it to your Netflix rental queue until it becomes available. Either that or you can rent it at your local Blockbuster Video store, assuming that there are any still open by the time this one makes its debut on Blu-Ray.
