Little Fish

I was so sad the day I met ya... I can't remember why.

What if COVID doesn't kill you, but either slowly or instantly wiped your memory away?

Ahh, a beautiful tragedy, a tragic modern Romeo and Juliet.

Probably one of the saddest movies this year, Little Fish told a couple trying to hold on to each other with feelings in a world where memories are getting eaten away. Logically, as a way to test memories, you ask another person about a memory or fact that both of you shared. The movie was a slow and painful descent to the inevitable. It's depressing to see such breathtaking and beautiful memories that the couple shared being crushed into nothingness by the harsh reality.

As I said, I loved the scenes where the couple talked about how they got together. The little fish scene was definitely the best. It's creative and unique to the couple. However, the most beautiful part was also the most cruel part. Also, the ending just made all the depression before worse.

Overall, a beautiful juxtaposition of joy and sadness. 9/10.

I almost turned this off after 20 or so minutes because it was quite slow. I'm glad I stuck with it. Quite a sad movie but has important things to say.

Olivia Cooke is amazing here. She does so much with subtle facial expressions, especially toward the very end.

It's a very depressing pastime but also a very relaxing one? What a gorgeous production from top to bottom with truly exceptional photography and sound design that homes in on all your senses. I'm surprised that Chad Hartigan was never on my radar until now.

O'Connel and Cooke are really the heart and soul of the whole thing. Giving truly grounded performances that is going to make you feel something. Don't care who all y'all are, you cannot look me in the eyes after watching it and tell me you didn't feel anything.

Magnificent original score as well, one track actually brought tears from my eyeballs.

I wonder if the people who rated this movie actually watched until the end. I doubt it. Not because it only becomes good at the end, no. But because of how brilliant the end is. This is one of he best romances I've watched. The cinematography is beautiful as well as the music. The main actors are incredible. The moments, scenes... everything really connects in such a beautiful way. Not only I found it one of the 2020 best movies, it definitely earns a place on my top movies of all time. Highly recommend it

The build up is a bit slow, but the ending is powerful. I find the story engaging, and it's well worth watching.
