Movie of the Week

                       Fish Tank (2009)
Directed by Andrea Arnold
Starring Katie Jarvis, Michael Fassbender
The independent drama picked up the 2010 BAFTA for best British film as well as the Jury prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and the accolades are well deserved. The story of a volatile teenager who lives in a council flat in East London with her younger sister and her mother. She is a loner and she dances by herself. However, when her mother brings home a new boyfriend, played brilliantly by Michael Fassbender, everything changes. 
I can honestly say this is one of my favourite films. It's so bleak and yet so beautiful and performances are brilliant all around. 
5/5
