Little Fish

 

Little Fish 2005

• Director: Rowan Woods
• Cast: Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Sam Neill, Martin Henderson, Noni Hazlehurst, Dustin Nguyen
• Why? I remember it as good
• Seen: once before. Now 21 September 2026   

 

          Tracy (Blanchett) is an ex-addict trying to start a new life. It’s not easy and it’s difficult not to fall back into using and dealing. Lionel (Weaving), an old friend, is still using. Sam Neill is a drug baron.

          It’s a tangle of family, friends, bad guys, losers, strugglers, old conflicts, liars, bad memories.

          I don’t remember why I liked this. The acting is strong but the story is confusing and depressing and a little boring.
