Fish Tank

Andrea Arnold, 2009

An astonishing capturing of the post-adolescent period of life, part adult with the serious choices to make, part child terrifyingly unaware of how the world works and the dangers that lie a moment away on all sides.

Profoundly realistic, proving that you really don't need guns, rich people, murders, helicopters or vampires to make compelling drama.

It's set in London, yet they still work in a major part for that most overexposed cinematic livestock, the horse.

No cows.
