So, 'Pet Fishes' is this quietly introspective animated piece that captures the essence of life in a cramped Hong Kong flat. You get this fascinating juxtaposition between the boy and his mum’s emotional states and the fish they care for. The animation style leans towards the whimsical, yet there's a deep undercurrent of realism. It’s like the visuals reflect their struggles—each fish's condition subtly mirrors their own lives. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection, and the overall tone is both gentle and melancholic. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, not through loud moments, but through its quiet observations about connection and longing.
