'Beautifully written, stunningly directed drama with a terrific, breakout performance from newcomer Katie Jarvis – FISH TANK is one of the best films of the year'
'Fish Tank is an extraordinary film, from the heart-stoppingly delightful direction to the incredible performances – it's also by turns heart-in-your-mouth suspenseful, laugh-out-loud funny and ultimately, deeply moving. Frankly, it's a masterpiece and, as such, unmissable'

'Searing, no-holds-barred British filmmaking to be proud of... fiendishly funny with one hell of an emotional punch... a jaw-droppingly good performance from newcomer Katie Jarvis as Mia'
- Robbie Collin, NEWS OF THE WORLD


'Troubled teen Mia (played by unknown Katie Jarvis) is travelling head first down a one-way road to self-
destruction. But when her dysfunctional mum's charming new boyfriend (a gorgeous Michael Fassbender) arrives on the scene, life suddenly seems more positive. Gritty and at times unbearable, this [is] bleak viewing, but if you're of the belief that a film can be both depressing and brilliant, you'll be blown away'
