"Fish Tank is the film that brought British director Andrea Arnold to the global stage and established many of the themes we see in her cinema: the lives of young women on the economic and social margins, in difficult family environments. The story follows a teenage girl who loves hip-hop dancing and must deal with her abusive mother's new boyfriend (played by Michael Fassbender). Arnold offers an empathetic look at the marginal experience and how economic and familial complexities—even abuse—can affect personal aspirations. Selected among the 100 best films of all time by The New York Times."
