Fish Friend is a quirky blend of comedy and fantasy that feels like a bizarre childhood dream gone awry. The premise is simple but effective; Sally's innocent excitement over her new goldfish takes a darkly humorous turn as it turns out to be a piranha. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to its charm, reflecting the chaotic life of a ten-year-old. The practical effects of the fish create a tangible sense of danger that contrasts with the lighthearted atmosphere. The performances, especially from the young Sally, are endearing, capturing that mix of naivety and determination. It's one of those films that plays with the idea of childhood innocence and the sometimes harsh realities that come with it. Worth a watch for those who appreciate offbeat narratives.
