Go Fish is a sweet romantic fantasy, totally dreamed up by lesbians. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 7, 2022

A groundbreaking new film about life and love, offering a candid slice of urban lesbian life in 90's.

| May 16, 2022

Go Fish was made with hardly more than petty cash and the devotion of a mostly female cast and crew who gave their weekends for a year to this labor of love. Despite the film's problems, it's the devotion and love you'll remember.

Go Fish is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful film. If you don't believe me, throw this paper down and go see for yourself.

Combining the urban smarts of Spike Lee with the ang-sty intimacy of a Sadie Benning video, Troche and Turner zero in on the streets of Chicago and a circle of friends who call the city home.

| Aug 25, 2021

The flexible digressive style enables Troche and Turner to dive a little deeper under Go Fish's seemingly light, shimmery surface and ponder on some weightier questions about lesbian identity -- but without letting the movie get too hung up on them.

The co-writer and director, Guinevere Turner, reveals herself as an extremely watchable star in her own movie, which showcases her comic and dramatic talent.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 25, 2021

Director/writer Rose Troche has made one of the best relationship movies of the year.

| Aug 25, 2021

What is remarkable about Rose Troche's direction is how smoothly she moves from scene to scene, both technically and emotionally.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 25, 2021

It's also witty and, in the end, subtly heartwarming, a lurching-toward-love story for anyone who's ever felt a romantic stirring.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 25, 2021

It likes its characters, and you'll like them, too.

| Aug 25, 2021

Go Fish has its arty, annoying excesses, but it also looks at love between women with a wit that's long overdue.

| Aug 25, 2021

Completely fresh and unselfconscious.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 25, 2021

Max and Ely's courtship can't sustain itself on single-cell motivation, not dramatically, anyway.

| Original Score: C | Aug 25, 2021

A delightful debut film in the freewheeling spirit of She's Gotta Have It.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 25, 2021
