    An all-star Australian cast work this wonderfully scripted drama to its full extent. What starts of as a complex drama soon turns into that of a crime drama. It is to the films credit that the evolution of genres is handled rather well and goes mostly unnoticed. The film relies m...( read more)ore on subtle hints to the past of the characters, and even leaves us with an ending that needs some thinking about. This may not be to everyone's liking but it really does make it a more involving piece. It's gorgeously shot, with lighting used coming off as something other-worldly with great beams shining down from street lights and headlights. A great drama that doesn't quite have a conclusion that the film hints towards earlier on.

    Great performances raise this Australian tale of the struggle to move on and what to keep from your past, above the norm.

    Not quite what I was expectiing from this film. The acting was fine, Cate Blanchett was very good, but the story was a little stretched out and there wasn't many high points to accomodate the low points

    Better than I had expected, a little drawn out though.

    Little Fish, Or, Lord of the Syringes: Elrond And Galadriel's Mystical Journey To Junkietown.

    This Australian production is one of the best films centered around drug addiction that I have seen because it's told with a fresh approach. Cate Blanchett is brilliant as usual as ...( read more)Tracey Heart, a former addict successfully getting her life back together. Her problem is that she's still surrounded by all the people from those dark days: her brother & mother, her semi-boyfriend (a former footy star outstandingly portrayed by an unrecognizable Hugo Weaving), and her serious ex-boyfriend just came back to town after a 4-year exile.

    What makes this film so involving is that we don't know all the details of the past, and we see relationships develop that other characters are unaware of. Furthermore, there is no explicit drug use, we only see the effects, and as Tracey's efforts at securing a bank loan to expand her business falter, we see those effects extend for years far beyond the drugs themselves. Desperate for money, she forms a partnership and embarks on a climactic encounter fraught with tension with a completely un-Hollywood, open-ended conclusion. Strongly recommended for its type.

    The makers of this film tried hard to make this film feel as realistically gritty as possible - and they got a good result. This style thus made it quite compelling even though there were not really any explosive moments. Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving did particularly powerfu...( read more)l and convincing performances, unlike any of their other's I've seen. However, I feel this film does not have much repeated watching appeal.

    I liked it cos it was filmed in my local city, like 2-3 km away from my house, and that's awesome. I really can't believe the lead actor(s) from the succesful films like Lord of the rings, Matrix, V for Vendetta, The Ring, Jurassic Park, Aviator, Bandits etc were actually in my ...( read more)town!
