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.

| 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

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

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

In addition to moments of pure cinematic silliness --interspersing a love scene with a shot of hands prying open baked bread -- director Rose Troche has created many sweet moments.

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

The movie's underlying high spirits survive its desultory, day-to-day rhythms, contrasty photography and effusive amateur acting.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 25, 2021

Comedy, tenderness and raunchiness are mixed into the dialogue, but it too often becomes banal.

| Aug 25, 2021

Go Fish is a sensitive, appealing little movie.

| Aug 25, 2021

A delightful storyteller, Troche comes up with wholly unexpected and consistently effective bits of visual punctuation and she has a subtle way with sensuality and a secure touch with non-professional actors.

| Aug 25, 2021

Troche can't let her camera alone. It jumps and skips from one odd-angled shot to another as if Troche were filming while trying to set a world record for espresso consumption.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 25, 2021

It's a fresh kick to see any movie in any era that dares to embrace both romantic love and sexual passion without making a big deal about it.

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

Troche triumphs by striking a universal chord without compromising her subject. She's a talent to watch.

| Aug 25, 2021

[Rose Troche] presents us with a world entirely without men, or even straight women, and illustrates its trials and tribulations with intelligence and wit as well as sometimes devastating frankness.

| Aug 25, 2021

As in the better American underground movies of the 60s, which this sometimes resembles, the youthfulness and the footloose free spirit keep things bouncing along like a clear spring day.

| Aug 25, 2021

Witty, amusing and thought-provoking.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2021

It is with a heavy heart that I say that this might be the worst movie I've ever seen... and it sounds like MC Skat Kat, the jazzy cartoon cat from Paula Abdul's music videos, has scored the scene.
