Academy Award winner Andrea Arnold handsomely directs Mia Williams (Katie Jarvis), a 15 year old who lives in a shabby apartment block with her mother, Joanne (Kierston Wareing), and younger sister, Tyler (Rebecca Griffiths). 

The drama in the movie trailer is vivid and restless, which makes it hard for me to watch.  Fish Tank is the most honored British film and was an official selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
