Andy's FISH TANK Review.

[John Johnson]

Never heard of it called the projects. The nearest thing would be Council Estates. There's lots of those in Essex.



Finally, Andrea Arnold’s FISH TANK (122 mins., 2009) also graces the Criterion Collection in Feburary. Arnold’s acclaimed British film boasts a striking star turn from young Katie Jarvis as a teenager, living with her sister and mother in Essex’s projects, who deals with adolescence and her blooming sexuality – particularly when her mom brings home her new boyfriend (Michael Fassbender).

I was using my own American terminology to describe the living conditions. Projects = ghetto, etc.
