Carrie Fisher is Dead

About This Movie

So, there's this peculiar film called 'Carrie Fisher is Dead.' It tells the story of a young boy and his goldfish named, well, Carrie Fisher. It’s all about the innocence of childhood and that inevitable confrontation with loss. The tone is quite somber, underscored by a slow pacing that really lets the weight of the moment sink in. The practical effects are minimal, but they add to the overall atmosphere, which feels both surreal and oddly touching. It’s a unique piece that captures the fragility of life and the emotional impact of losing a pet, wrapped up in a whimsical package that somehow feels deeply human.

This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors, not least because of its unusual title pairing a child's experience with the notable actress's name. Formats are somewhat scarce, with limited releases over the years—mostly digital. There’s a growing interest, especially for those who appreciate indie films that tackle unexpected themes with a delicate touch.
