Customer Reviews of Passion Fish
Modern Classic Films like Passion Fish remind me that film can be art. With intelligent writing and direction by John Sayles, Passion Fish explores the friendship and bond between an unlikely and reluctant duo: a soap opera actress paralyzed in a car accident (brilliantly performed by Oscar nominated MARY McDONNELL) and her hired nurse with demons of her own (the wonderful, and shamlessly Oscar overlooked ALFRE WOODARD). This movie beautifully explores how two very independent women deal with their dependence on each other. With a strong supporting cast headed by DAVID STRAITHARN, Passion Fish is an absolute gem. The "anal probe" monologue is worth the price of admission alone!
Louisiana captured in this brilliant, emotional film
I am a native New Yorker and I have been following Sayles, who is a New Jersey boy, since Baby It's You. About 12 years ago, I moved to New Orleans. Imagine my shock when Sayles, Jersey boy, managed to capture the unique, evocative atmosphere of Western Louisiana to perfection. There has been enough said about the plot (read a few other reviews), but the true genius of Sayles is the way he observes all the subtle elements of the culture he is filming about and uses them, sparingly, to give the viewer an absolute non-cliched portrait of, in this case, Louisiana. And, of course, since Sayles approaches film like a writer approaches the short story, the film is full of tropes and visual metaphor (May Alice, bound in a wheel chair is always wearing stripes that look like jail house clothing; the deeply moving and beautiful night journey through the bayou, where May Alica takes a spiritual passage of sorts, from darkness to light...). This is a perfect little film and it grieves me terribly that the film establishment hands out awards to movie "stars" versus "actors" and more or less ignores Sayles's beautiful work. His films work on so many levels: artistically, emotionally, intellectually, that I would say he is our best American director and script writer still living. If you view this movie, or any of Sayles stuff (Limbo and Mew with Guns are two astounding films) you will enriched beyond measure.
