    You don't even show Michael Fassbender in this?! He's reason number one for a lot of people. And since the movie is from a female point of view, she lavishes a lot of attention on him throughout the movie....!

    Any chance we'll see Red Road in the collection? Almost as good as Fish Tank, maybe more disturbing... Is there a better up and coming filmmaker than Andrea Arnold right now?

    1) One of the gutsiest portraits of growing up ever witnessed. 2) Katie Jarvis's & Michael Fassbinder's mesmerizing performances. 3) Andrea Arnold's gritty, uncompromising, unsettling, and also truthful direction.

    1. Andrea Arnold's realistic yet poignant direction. 2. A superb soundtrack mixing hip-hop and old-school soul. 3. The fiery performances of Katie Jarvis & Michael Fassbender.

    1. Fassbender and Jarvis 2. A. Arnold's bold style 3. The 1.33 aspect ratio still looks beautiful in the 21st century.

    1. Great second-best film so far, after Red Road. 2. Dance training then hopes dashed by the real world. 3. Fassbender tempted by the teenager he's being tender to.

    1. Amazingly beautiful handheld cinematography. 2. The vivid rarely seen vision of the current UK's lower class. 3. Katie Jarvis becoming one of the most believable characters ever.

    To me, this has been the most compelling "Three Reasons" so far. I can't wait to see this!

    1. Katie Jarvis actually grew up in these places. She gives a blistering performance. 2. Growing up in a British Council House is no better than growing up in an American housing project. 3. If you thought any episode of "Eastenders" gives you a scorching look at life in everyday England, wait till you see "Fish Tank".
