I see that Rob Meyer's Aquarium (2007) has garnered eleven award wins as of this writing, including prestigious honors from the Woodstock Film Festival, and even Sundance. I doubt I missed the point here, but I don't see what's so great about this piece. This sort of thing has been done before countless times and with much greater affect, so I don't understand all of the praise. Following a boy named David who is the youngest member of the local Aquarium society along with his two friends, he seems withdrawn and then comes out with a secret that he is reluctant to share. The sort of revelation he reveals is nothing that I found too special, and to tell you the truth, I was rather bored with this—those seventeen minutes seemed much longer to me. While willing the clock to move faster I lost all interest. There is really nothing here worthy of notice, save for some decent atmosphere, though that does nothing in saving this film.
