Little Fish

O'Connell - a very good actor of whom I feel I haven't seen enough recently - is tender and sympathetic as Jude, and Cooke is similarly intelligent and gentle as Emma.

Cooke is marvelous. She carries this movie through all of its various ups and downs with magnetic grace.

Maybe that's the greatest surprise of the movie, after all: Obsessed though it is with the past, throughout its whole runtime, the best part always lies ahead.

The film almost lost me but recovered by focusing on the intimate story of one couple. That's what makes Little Fish palatable-and moving.

The lackluster Little Fish banks on the automatic pathos of its subject matter, unaware that such delicate material actually requires greater skill and finesse to pull off, now more than ever.

Beautifully done with intimate cinematography... A lovely film.

Director Chad Hartigan has paid attention to the small details, allowing beautiful cinematography and a calming score to shine through to create an effective and powerful experience.

Little Fish's message that humans are best when they are in love is timeless. Our greatest treasure is sharing moments with people we care about, whose loss would break us. We hold onto those for dear life.

The performances are mostly captivating, particularly from Olivia Cooke, and the filmmaking does find imaginative ways to visualize some intriguing sequences.

The concept is fresh and the film has clear talent both in front of and behind the camera leading to an overall watchable experience that will connect with most audiences to some degree.
