Fish Tank

Teaser: A 15 year old girl in a London projects goes through life trying to escape the problems in her home and her life, while trying to pursue her dreams of becoming a dancer.

Best Feature: The lead actress carries the film on her own. A very disturbing, but interesting performance by Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class). Has a very fluid journey feel that keeps the audience captivated (think Stand By Me).

Worst Feature: Very slow moving plot, conclusion may not be as satisfying as some may hope.

This movie is great in that you are brought into the world of a main character, who is interesting in her own right, and then just when you think the pace of the movie might be slowing the plot takes a "somewhat" unexpected turn and finishes with an eclectic pace. Most movies that follow this formula drone on for the first 40 minutes and then you are treated to an accelerated and exciting last 30. I think this movie achieves being interesting in the beginning and then tantalizing us with its conclusion.
