The Golden Age of Fish is a fascinating dive into Cleveland's layered history through an experimental lens. It crafts a mosaic of narratives that feels both fragmented and cohesive, with an African American woman geologist guiding us through time. The pacing can be a bit meandering, yet it complements the atmospheric visuals of the city, blending its prehistoric past with the gritty present. There’s a unique charm in how the film tackles themes of identity and place, using practical effects that add a raw quality to its storytelling. The performances, particularly from the lead, feel genuine and grounded, making the abstract concepts resonate in a tangible way. It’s definitely a film that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
