Amazon.co.uk Review
Rose Troche's first film is a breezy, unrelentingly charming if flyweight study of female friendship and the usual relationship traumas. Guinevere Turner plays Max, an aspiring writer, (she's also the film's co-writer, and co-scripted the screenplay of the recent film American Psycho, in which she came under Christian Bale's knife). Max and her friends Ely, Kia and Daria spend a lot of time talking, cooking, and generally hanging out with that studied coolness that only people in independent movies can perfect. A tentative romance develops, and if not much else happens, at least it doesn't happen stylishly, in trendy black-and-white with snazzy dialogue. Most of all Go Fish deserves credit for barely deigning to engage with the fact that all its protagonists are gay, as if this were just another natural, everyday thing, like being left-handed or tall. If you really enjoy this film, check out the account of its making in John Pierson excellent insider portait of independent film-making in the 90s Spike, Mike, Slackers and Dykes. --Leslie Felperin

5.0 out of 5 stars Pioneering, original, intelligent and funny lesbian feature, 19 May 2000
This review is from: Go Fish [VHS] [1994] (VHS Tape)
'Go Fish', an honest and funny film, was one of the first lesbian features of a new generation of films dubbed "New Queer Cinema". With its roots firmly in the low budget, D.I.Y. aesthetic of filmmaking it proved that lesbian cinema audiences were potentially huge and wanted more than anything to see themselves represented in a proud and intelligent way. 'Go Fish' has a lot of underground appeal, it's 16mm black and white documentary feel takes us into the personal world of its characters. Symbolic imagery, interspersed with the narrative, of a spinning top, hands clasping and close ups of faces seem to quote lesbian video artist Sadie Benning's work on Pixelvision in its style and atmosphere. Its low budget feel reminds us that it was made by lesbians and for lesbians at a grassroots level in order to produce something they could really relate to and enjoy. Its strength lies in its humour and complete devotion to its subject, and should appeal to any open-minded person who enjoys a romantic comedy, or liked subsequent films like 'All over Me', 'I Shot Andy Warhol', 'The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls In Love' and most recently 'Boys Don't Cry' and 'Show Me Love'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, funny, so, so ,fine!, 24 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Go Fish (Paperback)
There are seemingly few lesbian texts or films which are able to break down the barriers of mainstreem ideals but here is a book and a film which does exactly that. From start to end, this book is engaging. It's characters are real and recognisable. The dialogue is natural and honest and the storyline is magnificent. Anyone who is currently breathing is sure to relate to this funny and at times un-nervingly familiar world of love, life and relationships. Don't pass this one on the shelf - grab it with both hands and let its words course through your veins and electrify your soul - ten stars - five for courage and insight!!!
