Movie Reviews

ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyAlthough writer/director David Kaplan attempts to elevate his amateur narrative attempt with the same rotoscoping animation technique that Richard Linklater used to great effect with "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly," the effect comes across as overwro
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoThe film's unusual look lends a magical feeling.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Pete Vonder HaarA sweetly engaging effort that manages a fair amount of charm and innocence in spite of the rather seedy surroundings.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Ty BurrAt its best, Year of the Fish makes a virtue of naivete - its heroine's, its director's, and the fragile fairy-tale belief that everyone deserves a happy ending.
Variety - 6/10 by John AndersonThat the film is animated gives it an appropriately magical feel, but it can't save the story from being drowned in devices and stereotype.
New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisPacks more sadness than the familiar fairy tale but offers its own fantastical delights. Ye Xian's party dress, made of teardrops, suits her -- and her story -- perfectly.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanDavid Kaplan's sweet, if superficial, fairy tale won't change the world, but it makes nice use of its setting (Chinatown) and visual style (rotoscope animation).
TheDivaReview.com - 6/10 by Diva VelezCharming and dreamlike, Year of the Fish wrings every dime out of its low budget with wonderful performances that are by parts adorable, sharp and sweet and certainly worth a look.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 6/10 by Bill WhiteAn eye-opener for those unfamiliar with the tribulations many immigrants endure on their road to American citizenship. And yes, it is also a fairy tale, but not all fairy tales are for children.
Honolulu Star-Advertiser - 6/10 by Burl BurlingameMaking the film 'animated' creates a remove from the harshness of reality, like erecting a scrim between performer and audience, but it also makes for a certain glow.
