Something Fishy

About This Movie

Something Fishy is an intriguing little gem from 2011 that plays with the whimsical yet dark side of childhood imagination. Maxine, our young protagonist, has a rather unique bond with her goldfish, which spirals into a series of absurd and comical events. The film does a nice job balancing lighthearted moments with a creeping sense of tension, and you can't help but feel the underlying darker themes lurking beneath the surface. The pacing feels offbeat in a way that keeps you guessing – just when you think you know where it's headed, it takes a sharp turn. The practical effects are charmingly low-budget, giving it a quirky DIY aesthetic that complements its off-the-wall humor. Performances are solid, especially from the young lead, who carries the film with a mix of innocence and mischief. It’s definitely one of those films that lingers in your mind for its oddities.
