Why this pick
Arnold again pairs restless youth with tactile, close-observed realism, but opens the setting into a drifting summer road journey. Its loose scenes, music and unstable found-family dynamics echo Fish Tank’s raw immediacy.
02
Why this pick
Andrea Arnold’s earlier short has the same unvarnished English-estate texture and intense attention to a young woman improvising under pressure. Its compressed form delivers Fish Tank’s mix of volatility, empathy and unease.

01 / THE STORY
Mia Williams is a volatile and socially isolated 15-year-old. She lives on an London Plan#Sub regions council estate with her single mother, Joanne, and younger sister, Tyler, and is highly antagonistic toward both of them. Mia is a loner, appearing to have had a falling out with her best friend Keely. She provokes Keely's other friends, criticises their dance routine, and head butts another girl. Mia regularly practises hip-hop dance alone in a deserted flat.
