So, 'Where is the Fish that Never Swam?' is a quirky little comedy that doesn't shy away from its roots. Set in the smoky pubs of 1950s Glasgow, it digs deep into the mind of our lead character, Brown, who's grappling with his life choices post his uncle Harry's death. Harry was a character in his own right – socialist, seeker of enlightenment, and ultimately, a figure of relatable human frailty. The film's pacing feels almost nostalgic, like it's taking its time to explore every little nuance of Brown's inner conflict. The performances carry a sort of warmth, with a mix of dry wit and heartfelt moments that really capture the era’s essence. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, reinforcing that feeling of authenticity.
