Mia is a fifteen-year-old girl is stuck in the world of war with her family. Her lifelong passion is hip-hop dance, but she must keep secret until she meets a new man showing her the great of dance.
The characters are guarded, and as we come to understand them scene by scene, they become ever harder to sort into convenient categories of hero and villain.
[Andrea] Arnold has a knack for subtle details but also for portraying female characters whose natural warmth and energy have been muted by trauma or social isolation.
The film is remarkable for its depth. It's not drilling in a message about the hopelessness of poverty, nor is it stylising the lifestyle of those living on council estates.

Plenty of films have presented us with the Angry Young Man but not so many with the Angry Young Woman ...Andrea Arnold does her bit to help correct this imbalance with Fish Tank...
