Hope this Little Fish makes a big splash over in the big U.S.A. pond-brilliant-, 8 July 2009
Author: collins-familysix from United Kingdom

Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank has hit the road running to Hollywood ! Already it has won the Jury prize at Cannes, and 2 awards for one of it's star's Katie Jarvis (one of top 25 trailblazers 2009 and Best British newcomer) at the Edingburgh Film Festival. Its established stars Michael Fassbender(Hunger)Kirsten Wsareing(recently of Martina Cole's The Take),Harry Treadaway(City of Ember) are excellent, but Andrea's choice of the novice girl's of Essex, have no trouble fitting in with the above.Katie Jarvis-brilliant- and Hollywood have already knocked at her door,Rebecca Griffiths, funny as hell,Charlotte Collins,realistic head butt and enemy to front Katie, and Chelsey Chase,loads of verbal, all with raw and naturalistic performances that can compete with best. All we can say is, it's true what they say about Essex's Girls, they are the best,just look at who these girl's can look up too, Helen Mirren (Southend Girl) comes too mind ,and she ain't done bad.Roll on the Irish,Toronto and SundanceFilm Festival's- FISH TANK is nipping at Slumdogs heels, and that over in the big pond some of the big fish will take the bait. Well done Andrea Arnold and Nick Laws.
