The film tells the story of a rebellious poor girl, Mia, who experienced a deep love at the age of fifteen. Like all coming-of-age films, the plot of "Fish Tank" isn't complicated, just a single-line focus on someone's life. The strength of the film lies in the director Arnold's keen grasp of the change of Mia from a girl to a woman, neither sensational nor bland. The rhythm of the whole "Fish Tank" has been maintained well and stretched, and it has not been released into a melodrama because of the arrival of the climax. Photography and soundtrack are also two major highlights, giving people a smooth and fresh sense of hope after watching. The plot is rich enough and the metaphorical details are very delicate, so that this rite of passage will not turn into the self-pity of adolescence, and it will also allow people to find the shadow of their youth in it.
