Blanchett is superb as Tracy, a recognisable and believable character attempting to put her past behind her.

Blanchett is at her best in a complex, gripping role.... Weaving is a revelation, going completely against type.

Somber but beautifully played, Little Fish handles drug addiction in a manner unthinkable in mainstream films.

Realistic characters brought to life by dramatic performances so strong you forget you're watching actors.

Even with all it's many good points, it leads to an inevitable ending we see from the very beginning. One could do worse.

While it may be too oppressively downbeat for some viewers, Little Fish nonetheless represents another triumph for Blanchett.

The acting talent on display surmounts all the obstacles he puts in their way.

Little Fish has beautifully understated performances and a script that emphasizes the mundane and the manipulative in the addict's world.
