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

This movie is astounding. A simple love story, a tragic one as he catches a virus which makes him slowly forget everything.
She tries to make him remember.
I truly, totally believe in their love.
The acting was sublime, I've rarely seen anything like it. The chemistry doesn't have to be sizzling hot because this is not about sexual passion, it's about true deep down heart felt love.
The dialogue is flawless, the production is amazing, the photography excellent.
This is truly art, and cinema, at it's very best.
This is a good reworking of Japanese American writer, Aja Gabel's 2011 short story. It's almost creepy, in that its subject matter only timely reflecting this present pandemic!
The film flows as a slowburner, a love story dealing with a degenerative illness affecting people's memory. Olivia Cooke is great as "Emma" as she deals with people she loves, fallen to the pandemic.
It also questions, isolation and the film's empathy is brought forth with science and the possible "cure". Using a fictional bay area landscape, it's palette of Grey's, blues, etc. are personafied through the film's cinematography.
This film is also reminiscent somewhat of George Romero's 1973 "The Crazies" (although I doubt that this film was being referenced by this film's production nor Aja Gabel's story). It worth a look, it's somber, almost bittersweet.

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.
