Film Review – Little Fish

While producers scramble to explore the world’s current pandemic situation with timely tales of separation and mounting frustration, “Little Fish” actually captures a familiar escalation of confusion and fear, perfectly in step with today’s daily news. The picture was shot nearly two years ago and doesn’t deal with the COVID-19 universe, but screenwriter Mattson Tomlin (adapting a short story by Aja Gabel) and director Chad Hartigan offer a vivid understanding of helplessness in the face of a public health crisis. The idea presented here is one of memory, with something happening to the population as individuals start to succumb to mental health issues. It all comes across eerily familiar, but the production remains on a dramatic path, dealing with the warmth of love and the challenges of a relationship, especially one that’s slowly being forgotten by two people desperate to save it.
