Tropical Fish

About This Movie

Tropical Fish feels like a weird blend of whimsy and melancholy. Ah-Jiang, our dreamer, finds himself in a tough spot after witnessing something he shouldn't have. It's really a coming-of-age story wrapped up in a bizarre adventure. The pacing has this almost floaty quality, which gives it a dreamlike atmosphere, perfectly aligning with the protagonist's own escapism. You can see the low-budget charm in the practical effects, which actually add to the surreal vibe. The performances are quirky and heartfelt, with a mix of humor and seriousness that keeps you engaged. It doesn't follow the usual formula, and that peculiarity makes it stand out in the sea of 90s films.
