Little Fish (2020)
9/10
I was so sad the day I met ya

I was so sad the day I met ya... I can't remember why.

What if COVID doesn't kill you, but either slowly or instantly wiped your memory away?

Ahh, a beautiful tragedy, a tragic modern Romeo and Juliet.

Probably one of the saddest movies this year, Little Fish told a couple trying to hold on to each other with feelings in a world where memories are getting eaten away. Logically, as a way to test memories, you ask another person about a memory or fact that both of you shared. The movie was a slow and painful descent to the inevitable. It's depressing to see such breathtaking and beautiful memories that the couple shared being crushed into nothingness by the harsh reality.

As I said, I loved the scenes where the couple talked about how they got together. The little fish scene was definitely the best. It's creative and unique to the couple. However, the most beautiful part was also the most cruel part. Also, the ending just made all the depression before worse.

Overall, a beautiful juxtaposition of joy and sadness. 9/10.
