A Good Fish

About This Movie

A Good Fish, from 2015, dives into the lives of two brothers who find themselves at a crossroads after their father's passing. It's a comedy, sure, but it has this underlying melancholic tone that really resonates. The pacing has a nice, almost languid feel to it, which complements the themes of loss and familial ties beautifully. The performances are surprisingly nuanced, with the brothers juggling their grief and absurdity in a way that feels real. The film has this quirky atmosphere, almost like a slice-of-life, and there are some clever practical effects that add to its charm. It's distinctive in how it mixes humor with the bittersweetness of dealing with a parent's death, making it a unique watch.
