So, 'Fish Tale' is one of those quiet dramas that kind of sneaks up on you. The Englishwoman searching for her husband in a quaint Normandy village sets a rather somber tone, underscored by the atmospheric cinematography that captures the essence of rural France beautifully. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer just beneath the surface, which makes the unfolding mystery feel more intimate. There’s a real sense of loss and longing, and the performances, while not flashy, carry an emotional weight that resonates. What stands out is the practicality of its effects—a grounded approach that feels authentic. It’s not your typical thriller, but rather a character study draped in mystery, which gives it a distinct flavor in the landscape of early '90s cinema.
