Dear Pretty Fish

About This Movie

So, 'Dear Pretty Fish' is this quirky little film that really leans into the absurdity of life. It’s about two sisters grappling with the idea of playing with a dead fish—yeah, you heard that right. The tone is a mix of light comedy and heartfelt moments, creating a weirdly intimate atmosphere. The pacing is deliberately slow, which makes you really feel the weight of their decision. Themes of childhood innocence and the strange ways we cope with loss are explored here. The performances feel raw and genuine, which adds to the overall charm. Plus, the practical effects on the fish are oddly fascinating, lending a tangible quality to the surreal premise. Definitely not your typical family film.
